LeBron James shuts down Cavaliers homecoming amid buzz

Speculation that LeBron James will finish his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers grew Friday as the four-time NBA champion was spotted in the Cavaliers' training facility.

On Friday, HoopsCentral reshared a photo of James with Cavs Summer League rookie Denver Jones. The tweet re-ignited rumors of James' return to the team that drafted him. However, he bluntly dismissed the speculation.

"And every summer since it was built. I live here still and train every summer. Got damn yall bored man! Go get a plate of food somewhere and enjoy the 4th of July!" James tweeted.

Rich Paul said four teams have contacted him about a potential trade for James. However, Paul admitted that nothing serious has materialized. James holds a no-trade clause in his contract.

Pressure is mounting on Lakers president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka to build a championship roster and maximize what could be the NBA legend's final season.
