LeBron's Next Team: Cleveland's Lead Just Evaporated Twenty-four hours changed everything in the LeBron James free agency market. On July 10, the Cleveland Cavaliers looked like a lock at 61% , with the Miami Heat trailing far behind at just 15% and the Golden State Warriors sitting at 13%. By July 11, that gap was gone.

Part of what's fueling Miami's surge is real roster context. The Heat completed their blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo and now have Giannis and Bam Adebayo locked in, but they're still hunting for shot creation after losing Norman Powell in free agency and Tyler Herro in the Giannis deal. Pat Riley pairing LeBron with that core is exactly the kind of pitch that can flip sentiment overnight. Worth watching too: veteran scorer DeMar...
