Cavs Believe LeBron is Staying?

According to an interesting article I found on TrueHoopBlog, the Cavs' brass appears to be giving the impression to those who interviewed for the Head Coaching gig that LeBron staying in Cleveland was a done deal.

Brian Shaw, the current Lakers' assistant coach, who interviewed for the Cavs' Head Coaching position, told reporters that the Cavs did not address the topic of LeBron leaving, and when he asked about the back-up plan in case LeBron did leave, the Cavs' front office brushed it off as a non-issue.

Pretty interesting stuff. Either the Cavs' are just in denial (a strong possibility in my mind, and a mentality that might actually be necessary to confront this process), or LeBron is 95% ready to return unless he is BLOWN AWAY by some other team's pitch.

It's hard to believe that the latter is the case, so I'd say the Cavs are probably in denial, and considering the tortured history of Cleveland fans, I'd understand why.

What a sad life those people lead...
