Byron Scott claims Harden influenced LeBron's decision against Cavaliers

Byron Scott suggested that James Harden's presence on the Cavaliers was a factor in LeBron James' decision to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers instead. After a strong postseason performance, the Cavaliers were viewed as a potential team for LeBron's return. However, Scott believes that if Harden were not on the roster, LeBron might have chosen Cleveland for a third stint. All players must now move forward as Harden is expected to sign a new deal with the Cavaliers, who will continue to build on their recent success.
