## Resource

Cavs reporter Chris Fedor joins Lima and Nick Pedone to unpack new reporting that LeBron James's camp met with Cavs ownership and front office in Akron in early July, and explains why Shams Charania chose to keep that meeting private. Fedor argues the decision ultimately came down to basketball fit, since LeBron would have been a non-shooting third option playing heavy defensive minutes alongside Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, while Philadelphia offered a cleaner roster fit and a shot at becoming the first player to win championships with four different franchises. He also addresses the Cavs' quiet offseason, confirming the Mario Hezonja signing is still expected to go through despite Real Madrid interest, and says the front office's refusal to trade Evan Mobley has limited their ability to make a bigger splash, though moves involving Jonathan Kaminga or Peyton Watson remain possible.
