NBA Free Agents 2014: Lebron James Stays In Miami Forever? Whether They Defend The Title Or Not, The Heat Is Still The Best Option!

Lebron James is  the top player in the NBA. He proved that once again when his team drubbed the OKC Thunder at their own homecourt and he outplayed MVP usurper Kevin Durant.

The big story is that Lebron will become a free agent again this summer, and we all know that Lebron James has the capacity to leave any team if he wants to.

Yes, Lebron has the capacity to leave, but the question is, does he have a reason?

There are so many natural advantages of living in Florida. The weather is warm and pleasant and Florida does not charge state taxes. These can be game changers for some, but Lebron has mentioned that winning is his priority. With that in context, nba.com had some of their experts play the speculation game. Where will Lebron go this summer?

Steve Aschburner, NBA.com: "He's staying put. This ain't 2010 anymore. James has checked off the big thing from his bucket list (multiple NBA titles) and doesn't need to be the chaser anymore. Miami is a destination market for most NBA players anyway, and more so with LeBron as its sun, exerting real gravitational pull on those in search of rings. At this point, LeBron is like Moe Greene ("No, I buy you out, you don't buy me out!") but with the clout and game of the Corleones."

Sekou Smith, NBA.com: "For the life of me I cannot figure out why LeBron would leave what he has helped build in Miami. There is no reason to flee the scene in search of championship glory elsewhere when the Heat have the chance to reload and rebuild another contender around James starting with the moves they make this summer. So no, I can't see it. I can't see him departing Miami for greener pastures in ... I don't know where it is he's supposed to go that could provide a better platform than the one he's created for himself in Miami. People keep talking about LeBron's potential move but I'm much more interested in seeing what Pat Riley has up his sleeve and who he will try and lure to Miami to work with LeBron in the next phase of his career."

Miami Heat has all the factors that would make Lebron want to stay. The devious GM, the player-friendly coach, the sidekicks. It is not a perfect set-up, but the question still stands-where are the greener pastures?

This summer, The Decision may just be the Non-Decision for King James.
