The wait is over (in the event you were holding your breath). LeBron James has re-signed with the Cavaliers. He has agreed to another short-term deal: 2-years, worth a max amount of $47 million.

Guys just don’t seem to want to retire from the NBA. Kobe, Duncan and Manu will all be back to give it another go. And so will Kevin Garnett. KG will return to the Timberwolves for his 21st season in the association. He will join only Robert Parish and Kevin Willis and the only three [...]

It seems like every summer there’s questions as to whether or not Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili will be returning to the Spurs.
