#2 Cleveland has a nice long-term situation
Even assuming that the Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs and the Philadelphia 76ers have a better supporting cast to surround LeBron (should he commit to one of these teams), Cleveland is still probably the top contender for LeBron's signature on a new deal for pure basketball reasons.
In Kevin Love, he has a reliable All-Star who can drop 20 points and grab 10 rebounds with minimum fuss on an average day. With Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr and Rodney Hood on the team long-term, the Cavaliers have a nice scoring punch to give LeBron a few minutes off every night.
What's more, they have the opportunity to draft a star-in-the-making this summer using the Brooklyn Nets pick, which they received via the Irving trade. The 2018 draft has been projected as one of the most well-stocked ones in recent memory, and should the Cavaliers receive a player with a high ceiling (the Nets pick is currently likely to be at the 6th or 7th spot) in the draft, there is no reason for LeBron to leave Cleveland, because he will already have enough players alongside him to compete for an NBA title with.
