НБА-гийн чөлөөт агент Леброн Жеймсийг эгнээндээ нэгтгэхийн тулд Кливлэнд Кавалиерс идэвхтэй ажиллаж байгаа бөгөөд түүнийг багтаа эргэн ирэх хамгийн өндөр магадлалтай нэр дэвшигч гэж үзэж байна.
Спортын шинжээч Билл Симмонс өөрийн подкастаар дамжуулан Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорс нь ердөө л Леброн Жеймсийн нэр хүндийг ашиглах хэрэгсэл байсан гэж мэдэгджээ. Тэрээр Леброн Жеймсийн Кливлэнд Кавалиерс руу буцах асуудал нэгэнт шийдэгдсэн хэмээн онцолсон байна.
Симмонс нь НБА-гийн хүрээлэлд олон жил ажилласан туршлагатай төдийгүй Леброн Жеймсийн төлөөлөгч Рич Паултай шууд холбоотой нэгэн юм. Хэдийгээр энэ мэдээллийг албан ёсоор баталгаажуулаагүй ч түүний ойр дотны холбоог үндэслэн ажиглагчид анхааралтай ажиглаж байна.
Леброн Жеймс карьерынхаа төгсгөлийг Кливлэнд Кавалиерс-д өнгөрүүлэхээр төлөвлөж байж болзошгүй байгаа энэ нөхцөл байдлын үнэн эсэхийг ойрын хугацаанд мэдэх боломжтой болно.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of a handful of teams trying to convince LeBron James to sign with them in free agency via voice note messages that may or may not actually get to LeBron himself. As of now, they appear to be the favorites to secure his services. That noise is only going to grow louder as Bill Simmons outright said LeBron returning to the Cavs was “done.”
Simmons mentioned on the most recent episode of the Bill Simmons Podcast that the Golden State Warriors were just used as leverage. This led him to say that LeBron is going back to Cleveland, and that the “Cleveland thing is done.”

How much you want to read into this is entirely up to you.
Simmons says this in a somewhat flipant way, an hour into a two-hour podcast. If he were going to break news this big, it’d make a lot more sense to lead off his show with this or put it up on the website he owns. That could easily lead you to believe this is just speculation based on all the other reporting and noise around a return to Cleveland.
On the other hand, Simmons is extremely plugged in. He’s been in NBA circles for decades and knows what he’s talking about. Additionally, he also has a direct connection with Rich Paul.
The Ringer — Simmons’s website — hosts Paul’s podcast Game Over. If there is someone who you’d think would be in the loop on this, it’d be Simmons.
Again, how much stock you put into this is up to you. What we can definitively say right now is that it seems like LeBron is coming back to Cleveland for a farewell tour. We’ll find out whether that materializes soon enough.
