The biggest news story of the next week is all about LeBron James and where he is going to go. Some have the kid from Akron going to the Los Angeles Lakers, some having him going to the Houston Rockets and some have him staying home with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
There seems to be more steam over the last few days thinking that James is going to be leaving the state of Ohio, but one Vegas insider texted Dustin Fox of the Athletic saying that James is coming back to Cleveland.
Vegas insider just texted me. He says Lebron is coming back to CLE. 🤷🏼♂️ #LebronWatch2018

Vegas insiders are usually pretty in toon with what is happening around the league, and being insiders they sometimes have more information than the general public. It's hard to know from the tweet if that insider knows inside information or if that's just a hunch that he has.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Brian Windhorst and Ramona Shelburne, the pressure is mounting on Magic Johnson to get a deal done with the San Antonio Spurs to bring in Kawhi Leonard.
There have been some rumors that James doesn't want to join the Lakers unless there is another superstar that he will be joining.
It might make sense for James to stay away from the Lakers if another star isn't brought in because he coming in by himself probably isn't enough to get by the Warriors, and at that point he might as well stay with the Cavs.
