As the Cleveland Cavaliers battle the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals there is a huge rumor brewing that may make Cavs fans uneasy (again).
Could LeBron James possibly return to play for the Miami Heat?
Well, according to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith it's very much a possibility.
Smith, who was one of the first to report James interest in teaming up with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in 2010, presented the idea Monday that the Cavaliers star may ditch Cleveland again depending on how the team performs in the playoffs.
Here's Smith and colleague Skip Bayless discussing LeBron on ESPN's First Take.

According to Smith's report, LeBron's decision to leave is based on the promise he made to Cleveland fans when he returned in 2014.
Basically if James fulfills his promise by leading the Cavs to an NBA title there is good chance he leaves again.
But would he really go back to Miami? If there's an opportunity to play with his NBA besties Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony, then yes. James has spoken of his desire to play on the same team as his friends.
Here's what James told Bleacher Report in February:
Although Pat Riley and the Heat organization weren't happy with the way LeBron ditched them in 2014, they'd likely brush those hard feelings aside if there's a chance to form another super team in the coming years.
Now of course this just makes for good barbershop talk right now since we're in the middle of the NBA playoffs.
But in the meantime you can weigh in:

Here's what James told Bleacher Report in February:
"I really hope that, before our career is over, we can all play together...At least one, maybe one or two seasons -- me, Melo, D-Wade, CP -- we can get a year in. I would actually take a pay cut to do that."
