LeBron James continues to reiterate that he’s happy in Cleveland, but most of the national media already has him in New York playing for the Knicks or Nets. Who’s telling the truth? Well there is no way to know exactly, but the truth may come sooner than the Summer of 2010, more like July 22nd of 2009. That’s when James is eligible to sign an extension that would keep him in Cleveland for many years to come. If he doesn’t accept the Cavaliers extension, the media will be all over the decision.

James is suppose to say he’s happy where he is now, even if he’s not. The sports writers all know that it’s all about ratings and stories about James leaving and joining the Knicks or Nets will get recognition and sales and they’ll continue to do it until James’ final decision is made. So for Cavaliers fans out there, just because James says he’s happy doesn’t mean he’s truly happy nor does that mean he has intentions on leaving. He loves the attention and will let this play out and may even turn down an extension to keep it going. That doesn’t mean he’s going anywhere though.
