Though he has opted out, James can re-sign with the Cavaliers and said last week he has no intentions of leaving Cleveland again.

"I love it here in Cleveland. I have no intentions of leaving," James told ESPN's Dave McMenamin during the Cavaliers' championship parade. "There are some technicalities to take care of I'll leave up to my agent. That's right from the horse's mouth."

Seeing all what Lebron has done the last 2 seasons, I understand KD saying he doesn't want this "circus" all over again next season.
That means Lebron is a "clown"

I'm not sure I follow what you mean.

I mean, sure, LeBron said plenty of platitudes in the victory parade but it is IMO p clear he will stay in Cleveland.

He could have make it very drama and theatrical.
"I'm opting out of my contract.... blank... everybody scared..."
"I'm gonna sign for 5 years and finish my career... RIGHT HERE"
Audience : "AAaaaaaahhhhh" "I love youuuuuuu"

If he does that, you know there will be a light show and a stage full of smoke from which he will emerge.

Of course, he's going to sign another 1+1 so he can take another raise next year with the cap going up again.  Maybe, we'll get to see this next year.
