Cleveland Cavaliers still waiting on LeBron James regarding extension
LeBron James has the Cleveland Cavaliers waiting and their fans wondering.

James has yet to announce if he's going to accept the club's maximum contract extension, a five-year offer worth about $80 million US. Although James isn't eligible for free agency until after next season, his silence - he received the offer July 1 - has led to speculation that he has other plans.

Adding to Cleveland fans' anxiety is that the agents for Miami's Dwyane Wade, Denver's Carmelo Anthony and Toronto's Chris Bosh have told media outlets that their clients have accepted and intend to sign deals with those clubs identical to the one the Cavaliers offered James.

James was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 draft class that included Anthony, Wade and Bosh.

James' agent, Leon Rose, met with the Cavaliers before family commitments kept him away for the holiday weekend. He has not returned phone or e-mail messages.

The contract extension isn't the only thing keeping James busy this summer. He committed to playing for Team USA in the FIBA world championship and must report to training camp in Las Vegas later this month.

NBA rules prohibit the Cavaliers from commenting on their negotiations with James, who can sign anytime between July 12 and Oct. 1. While waiting for the all-star forward's decision, the club has not reached agreement with any free agents.

General manager Danny Ferry said last week that his top priority after James' contract is re-signing restricted free agent forward Drew Gooden. The club has had preliminary talks with Gooden's agent, Calvin Andrews.
