The 2025 offseason may not have included any ground-shaking moves by the Cleveland Cavaliers, but there is no shortage of LeBron James rumors surrounding the franchise.
Long story short, though, James is not returning this summer regardless of any social media posturing. A report named the Cavs as an interested party, contacting LeBron's long-time agent Rich Paul about a potential deal. James, owed more than $50 million this season, would cost the Cavaliers roughly $70 million in a trade in order to shed enough salary to drop below the second apron and be able to process a James trade.
