LeBron James has not yet announced his free agency decision, and he probably won't for another month or so, but people are starting to believe he might actually return to Cleveland. The likelihood of that outcome, of course, would increase if the Cavs could improve their roster—and apparently LeBron is doing what he can to bring in fellow stars.

Perhaps LeBron is hoping to team up with Paul George.
The Cavs took Alabama guard Collin Sexton with the No. 8 pick, but their draft reportedly will not influence LeBron's decision. Bleacher Report's Ken Berger spoke with executives around the league and asked if the Sexton selection would matter to King James.
"The answers were swift, decisive and—as late character actor Lane Smith famously declared in My Cousin Vinny—I-DENTICAL," Berger writes. "Nope."
That's got to be disappointing for Sexton, who immediately attempted to lure LeBron back to the Land.
