​Cavaliers get best possible update on LeBron James sweepstakes originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Cleveland Cavaliers have to be viewed as the favorite to win the LeBron James sweepstakes, though the all-time great still hasn’t made a decision.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementI’m unsure why James is taking as long as he is, as I assume that he already knows where he wants to play.While Cleveland is viewed as the overwhelming favorite according to most reports, it doesn’t sound like the Cavaliers are guaranteed to get James just yet. According to the latest report, they’re the team to beat, but they’re not being viewed as unbeatable.“A third (and bow-tying) marriage with the Cleveland Cavaliers continues to be regarded as “the scenario to beat” by the teams pursuing James that have been most frequently mentioned: Golden State, Miami, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Denver.“To beat. Not necessarily unbeatable,” Marc Stein wrote.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementI’m really interested to see how a lot of this plays out. Among the other teams mentioned, I don’t really view any as legitimate suitors other than the Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat.The Warriors’ reasoning is obvious because of Draymond Green and Stephen Curry, while I could see James being interested in going back to Miami as well. However, Cleveland feels like the best option for all involved, and it would make for a great story to end his career.Austin Reaves pretty much begged Rob Pelinka to make more movesLakers have perfect target in Matisse Thybulle that no one is talking aboutHeat get more bad news about LeBron James during NBA Summer LeagueSpurs trade pitch moves De’Aaron Fox for $120M All-StarLakers, Peyton Watson might’ve just been given a fun hint at free agent partnership
