How the Cavaliers management and ownership reacted to the team's loss in the 2017 Finals, with respect to roster construction for the next season, began the reports and rumors of James possibly leaving the team by option out of his player option in 2018.
Up until the midseason trade deadline when Cleveland dealt six players in exchange for four, there was endless chatter surrounding James' possible decision in the upcoming offseason. And as the Cavs continued to struggle from late December onwards, there was quite an evident drop in effort on the part of James during games, which only empowered the rumors.

Now, will the Cavaliers' new GM Koby Altman and his midseason trades swing the narrative?
The team's taken on more money on their books but they have gotten younger, more athletic and have acquired players that are more defensively equipped. More importantly, they all (Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr., Rodney Hood and George Hill) come with some new energy and no egos.
GM Altman has made Cleveland a more favorable destination for James to stay rather than going to any other place whether that's Houston, Philadephia or Los Angeles.
