Earlier in the week, the topic of LeBron James' potential free agency in 2014 came up in the office, and if he would come back to Cleveland.

My first thought wasn't yes, no or maybe. It was, "Are we really going to have to talk about this for the next 16 months?"

So of course I'm writing a blog about it. It appears we won't be able to avoid it, even if we try.

For example, he was asked about it during NBA All-Star game interviews on Friday. Thankfully, he took the high road and said he's focused his present endeavors.

That won't be the end of it. Wherever you stand, you might as well get used to hearing about it.

If you're angry over James leaving, or the way he left, I hope you get over it soon. It's been almost three years, and it's not as if he moved an entire franchise out of town.

If he chose to return to the Cavaliers -- does anyone really know how realistic that is, by the way? -- they would be adding a Hall of Fame player. Cleveland teams don't get those type of free agents.
