Latest NBA Trade Rumors: LeBron James Contract Delay Is Because Of Kevin Durant? 'The King' Remains A Free Agent?

The Cleveland Cavaliers have yet to secure "The King" and latest NBA trade rumors are now dogging LeBron James, who opts to remain a free agent a little longer. Trade rumors say of the NBA superstar that that LeBron James' contract signing is delayed because 'The King' is hedging his bet and Kevin Durant may play a part

How Kevin Durant Plays Into LeBron James' Decision

Sportsrageous points out that the Golden State Warriors is bent on reclaiming the wins from 2016 champion, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Roster tally says Kevin Durant is now signed up with the Golden State Warriors increasing the threat to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland Cavaliers Roster Could Use Ray Allen Return And Similar Reinforcement?

As it is, even with LeBron James in the Cleveland Cavaliers roster, Kevin Durant adds to certainty that the Golden State Warriors will make a statement at the Western Conference. FOX Sports supports this proposal in reporting that LeBron James is determined to see a strong Cleveland Cavaliers roster before signing up.

Latest poll shows that LeBron James is right to take this stance as the Cleveland Cavaliers will be facing strong opposition, not just from the Golden State Warriors. The Cleveland Cavaliers will also have to watch out for reinforcements in the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.

What Would Sway LeBron James To Commit To The Cleveland Cavaliers?

FOX Sports further reports that other than Kevin Durant concerns, LeBron James is also waiting to see how the Cleveland Cavaliers will handle their deal with J.R. Smith. The Cleveland Cavaliers could see rival NBA teams try to snap LeBron James' little brother J.R. Smith, who is bargaining a $15 million annual salary deal.

LeBron James' delayed contract signing surely holds sway over the Cleveland Cavaliers lending J.R. Smith a stronger bargaining chip. On a business angle, FOX Sports proposes that LeBron James is weighing the conditions between a one-year deal and long-term contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
