its not that lebron is thinking or even wants to go back to Cleveland. why would he? it comes down to that he just wants to be liked. this guy cares way too much about what others think. so when asked by the media in cleveland, i understand why he would answer that way. honestly no matter what he says he will get criticized. personally, i wouldn't have even answered the question.
You are right in he is either damn if does and damn if doesn't because he didn't answer much in Cleveland and look at the circus that happened. Personally, I think he is being a little too PC for my taste. But that is him, he a grown man and he has to answer for himself.
