Summary
Akron sightings of LeBron James with Cavaliers assistant GM Brandon Weems intensified speculation about his next team as the 41-year-old remains unsigned.
ESPN Cleveland circulated a photo from a Friday gathering at House Three Thirty, and the link drew extra attention because Weems is both a Cavs executive and one of James' former St. Vincent-St. Mary teammates.
Rich Paul has confirmed Cleveland is among the teams pushing to sign James, though he said no decision is expected in the coming days and the race remains open.
Cleveland offers deep ties and immediate title intrigue: James was the No. 1 pick there in 2003, won the franchise's first championship in 2016, and averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds last season.
