“I’m coming home,” James tweeted at 12:30 pm EST.

Cleveland was set at 5-1 odds to win the 2015 NBA Championship.

Chris Bosh is expected to be traded to the Houston Rockets though this was not immediately confirmed.  The Heat odds of winning another championship were at 50-1.

James and his agent Rich Paul were done meeting with teams Thursday, according to sources close to the situation.

James' agent met or spoke with officials from the Mavericks, Rockets, Suns, Cavaliers and Lakers last week, but James was not present.  Rumors continued to swirl that Cleveland sat atop Lebron’s list of teams where he would like to play and oddsmakers were quick to react.

Whether the Cavs can compete for a championship with James remains to be seen.
