Did the Miami Heat just accidentally reveal the biggest free agent signing news of the season with their LeBron James video?
James’ future has been the primary topic of discussion among NBA fans, ever since the four-time NBA champion announced he would be leaving the Los Angeles Lakers.
Several teams have been involved in the LeBron James sweepstakes, but one of these teams may have shown their cards a little too early.
Miami Heat upload LeBron James return press conference link, promptly delete it
Earlier today, the Miami Heat YouTube channel uploaded a link to a press conference that was listed as LeBron James’ introductory press conference to the team.
The description read, “Press conference for LeBron James, welcoming him back as a member of the Miami Heat.”
The link was quickly deleted, but fans noticed it enough for the image to go viral on social media, furthering speculation that James was set to return to South Beach.
There is no word on whether this was a prepared video link set to go out if James did join the team, or whether it was created upon instruction from higher-ups after a confirmation that they secured his signing.
LeBron James will take his time with free agency decision, has changed his mind several times
Speaking on NBA Today, Kendrick Perkins revealed what Rich Paul told him about James’ decision-making process as of now.
“Perk, listen, man. This has nothing to do with money. The teams that are at the top of (LeBron’s) list, they’re all gonna pay the same dollar amount.
“He’s not asking a team to move anybody that’s contradicting what they’re standing for. It’s not about the money, it’s about the fit.
“He’s had his mind made up…and then all of a sudden he’s changed his mind and he’s back to the drawing board again.”
LeBron James is clearly taking his time with his decision, as he knows that this will likely be the last team he plays for in his NBA career.
