Lebron is an idiot if he returns to Cleveland. The entire point of refusing to sign an extension with Cleveland was to explore his options, and it's obvious better options are out there (Bulls - winning, Nets - money). I just can't imagine him saying, "i decided after looking around that Cleveland is my best fit." Cleveland wont be any better situated to defeat the Lakers. Or possibly Chicago if they have some combination of Wade/Bosh/Boozer. And ultimately they had seven seasons to win a title.
OR:
To force Cleveland's hand by making them sweat the possibility of him leaving, and he never truly was going to leave town. This possibly puts more pressure on Cleveland to try and make some moves to bring in some talent to surround him with, and perhaps show him that next year they can put even more talent on the team to contend.
He really really wants to win in Cleveland, but I don't think he'll leave town unless another team absolutely blows him away with an offer, whether it's the Bulls, Nets, Heat.. whoever.
