CLEVELAND (AP) — Four years after their messy breakup, the Cavaliers and LeBron James are at least
talking about a reunion.
Cavs officials met with James’ agent, Rich Paul, this week about the free agent superstar’s possible
return. The sides visited as James continued his family vacation, a person with knowledge of the details
told The Associated Press on Thursday night on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of
the talks. It was not immediately clear if owner Dan Gilbert was at the meeting.
James recently opted out of the final two years of his contract in Miami. The two-time NBA champion has
gone to four straight finals with the Heat. However, after the team was throttled by San Antonio in this
year’s finals, James said he would weigh his options this summer.
One of them could be re-signing with the Cavs, the team he spent seven seasons with before leaving in
2010 to join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in South Florida.
ESPN has reported that Paul met with several teams.
While James has been out of the country with his wife, Savannah, and their two sons, Paul has been
working on the four-time MVP’s future. Unlike four years ago, when teams flocked to Cleveland to make
presentations to woo James, the courtship of him this time has been low key and rather business-like.

The Cavs have waited patiently for their chance to try and convince the Akron, Ohio, native to come home.
In the past few weeks, the Cavs have hired new coach David Blatt, selected Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins
with the No. 1 overall pick and gotten All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving to agree to a five-year, $90
million contract extension.
Now, they’re working on bringing back James, who has never ruled out the possibility of a return.
