Mananatiling Cavaliers si LeBron James sa susunod na tatlong taon.
Tinanggap ng four-time MVP at three-time NBA champion ang US$100 million para sa tatlong taong kontrata na alok ng Cleveland, ayon sa ulat ng Associated Press.
Pormalidad na lamang ang gagawing anunsiyo ng koponan sa mga susunod na araw, ayon sa opisyal na may direktang kinalaman sa usapin.

“I’m re-signing back with the Cleveland Cavaliers, man, my hometown team, and I couldn’t be more excited with this opportunity once again man, to defend our crown, defend our title,” pahayag ni James sa panayam ng Uninterrupted.
“We all know last year was magical, inspiring, all the words you can come up with man. It was an unbelievable season.
“I just can’t wait to get the group back together man, the team, the franchise, and more importantly get everybody together.”
Ginamit rin ng three-time champion ang oportunidad na ito upang pilitin ang Cavs na papirmahin muli ang free agent na si J.R. Smith.
“Let’s get J.R. done,” natatawang banggit ni James said. “It’s that time.” (Isinalin Ni Lorenzo Jose Nicolas)
