Next month marks the opt-out clause of Lebron James' two-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers and a lot of speculations are building through the internet. Is Lebron leaving the Cavs after fulfilling his promise of a championship title?

The Man Who Might Have a Thing About the King

Stephen Smith, one of the most prominent reporters to have reported early calls made by Lebron's camp, made a bold prediction LeBron opts out and becomes a free agent, he'll likely return to Miami or move to LA where he has two teams waiting for him -- the Clippers and Lakers. Will he replace the newly retired Mamba? Or will he play with Paul for the Clippers?

Back in the early 2010, Smith was the first one to report that LeBron, Wade and Bosh would sign for the Heat in the same year. Also, he was one of the few who predicted that Lebron would return to Miami. And a year after, Lebron indeed returned to his homeland.

Magic Johnson says 'Nobody Can Be Mad at Him'

Lately, one of NBAs legends Magic Johnson posted on Twitter, "Lebron James delivered on his promise to bring a championship to Cleveland, now if he decides to leave nobody can be mad at him."

Everything regarding LeBron leaving Cleveland has been purely speculative but it can never be ruled out. Being a free agent means that LeBron can opt to leave or stay and create what he used to call the "dream team" composed of Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. "The Brotherhood" so to speak, is Lebron's most treasured friends in the league.

In his recent interview, James said, "I'm true to the game, and I know what I bring to the table. I came back for a reason. I came back to bring a championship to our city. I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew what I learned in the last couple years that I was gone, and when I came back, I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place that we've never been. That's what it was all about."

"The game always gives back to people that's true to the game. I've watched it. I know the history of the game, and I was just calm. I was calm. I was focused. I was locked in," he added.
