He was on M&M this morning defending Lebron, saying he's handled everything perfectly and hasn't been leading Cleveland on. No one will never, ever convince me of that. The Lakers, Rockets, or whoever else dropped out of the Lebron sweepstakes pretty quickly because they knew they had no chance. Yet, the Cavs have been there until the final hour, trading players to clear up cap space and trying to sign his former teammates. Bottom line: I don't think those are moves you make without someone along the line hinting that you should.
Windhorst also didn't think Lebron was coming back because the Cavs just signed their coach who hasn't even coached an NBA game yet. The meathead Golic, of all people, reminded him that Spoelstra was hardly a household name when Lebron went there four years ago.
I'm thinking at this point Windy is simply toeing the ESPN "only report the Heat side" line/hoping Lebron stays for personal reasons because if Lebron leaves, he's out of a job at ESPN, guaranteed.
He was basically brought in to trail Lebron and the big 3. They aren't keeping him on the payroll to follow him in Cleveland.
I'm sure someone in Cleveland will hire him if Lebron comes to the Cavs, but I assume that'll be a hell of a pay cut for him. The PD gutted their newsroom last year, so his old job would even be at a low price or does not exist
