    At least he won't screw over Cleveland after two years;

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>LeBron is expecting the salary cap to jump massively in 2016, James aims to re-sign at that time.

    Why even put that option in when you're dedicated to finishing your career in Cleveland??

    The opt out for next year to provide potential extra flexibility to sign free agents.

    The 2 years is so he can maximize his money in 2 years with the new cap.

    In terms of the TV contract in 2016, is there a chance the NBA on NBC returns? I would absolutely love to hear that jingle again.

    LeBron keeps making all the right choices here. That contract gives both him and Cleveland flexibility. There is one thing I can guarantee. You will never see LeBron James on another NBA team for the remainder of his career. It's Cleveland for life, done and done.

    Heat have two years to get the right pieces in Miami for James to return to his South beach rental.

    So a 2 year contract with an option to opt out after year 1; why put that in there?

    I wouldn't put money on him staying after 2 yrs. it's Lebron so it will be more drama summer 2016. He and Durant will be free. Very interesting.

    Why not? Just an agent doing his job. If you can have an option, why not have an option.

    personal opinion...Lebron should keep #6. It has been the most successful number he has to date(ie. Medals, and titles)
