The Los Angeles Lakers might no longer have LeBron James Sr. on their roster, but they still have junior and seem to want to keep him.

LeBron James left the Lakers weeks ago but is still deciding where he will play next season.

Well, the excuses are over. FanFest in New York was last week, and that has come and gone. The World Cup ended on Sunday, so there are no new major sporting dates on the calendar until the NFL season opens in seven weeks.

Reports ramped up early last week that LeBron James would announce his next team.

James returning to the Cavaliers would be a powerful homecoming story in Akron.
