Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring the possibility of signing LeBron James this summer, according to ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst. The team can currently only offer James $4 million, making his return unlikely unless he agrees to a pay cut or a sign-and-trade deal involving All-Star center Jarrett Allen.
