James, who has spent most of his time since winning his third title in Los Angeles, posted a photo of him signing the deal on his Instagram account with the caption “Committed!”
“The Cavs will face Carmelo Anthony and the revamped Knicks at home to start a season for the second time in three years”the two teams also met on opening night when James first returned to Cleveland two years ago.
Next summer, the cap will jump, but not as high as most predicted: because of the amount of free agent spending this year, the salary cap will rise to only $102 million, rather than the projected $107 million, according to an National Basketball Association memo last month. After considering his many options and history with the team, he made a decision to opt for a longer deal with the Cavs this summer.
Lebron James finally resigned with the Cleveland Cavaliers and it was a big one.
“I can’t be more excited than this opportunity once again, man, to defend our crown, defend our title”.
Current NBA free agent J.R. Smith, who last played for the 2016 NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, is on track to open his sneaker store, Team Swish, in his hometown in August.
Over the past couple of years, the 31-year-old James had accepted one-year contracts from the Cavaliers with player options. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016, because the team had not announced the deal.
Appearing in his sixth straight finals last season, he averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.3 blocks, becoming the first player to lead a series in every major statistical category. We all know past year as a magical, inspiring – all the words you can come up with – it was an unbelievable season.
‘I can’t wait to see my guys. And lastly – You know what I’m saying? – let’s get J.R. (Smith) done. So let’s get the band back together, And let’s bring home another championship.

That’s especially true when you consider there is no one out there right now who could come in and fill Smith’s shoes.
