LeBron was annoyed with questions, but he doesn't want to end the FA buzz early.
He isn't leaving the Cavaliers in limbo, Cleveland is fine without Ariza and are the favorites to win the title. Remember, that was last summer with Ariza, Cleveland still had to prove that they would do everything possible for LeBron to win the title. The moves Cleveland has made after that to be in the position they are to race for the title will keep LeBron here. Signing solid role players like Parker and Moon has paid off huge in the playoffs so far imo. Picking up Jamison for nothing is the steal this season and it may just result in a ring.
He likes the buzz, yet doesn't want to answer questions? He can't have it both ways.
And yes, he is leaving Cleveland in limbo. They can't plan their future with him already under contract.
They missed out on Ariza because Lebron couldn't commit longterm. With Ariza Cleveland is better. Parker and Moon are not half the players that Ariza is. They bring in Shaq to improve the team, yet he has been a nonfactor. They draft a guy from the Congo instead of someone who could contribute immediately like Dejuan Blair. They won't part with Hickson to bring in one of the elite PF in the NBA.
You might think they made good moves, I personally don't. Maybe Lebron doesn't either. I'd be more confident in him staying if he had Williams, Ariza, Stoudamire and Varejao as his running mates compared to his current guys.
Reality is that the Cavs are lucky to be 1-1 with the Celtics after 2 home games. Right now, the Celtics look to be the better team. If somehow the Cavs can regroup and get past Boston, they have Orlando waiting and then whoever out of the West. At this point in the playoffs, I would say the Cavs are the 6th best (Lakers, Utah, San Antonio, Orlando and Boston). Does that mean they won't win it? Not necessarily, but something has to change.
