You can't put anything on Lebron for this hype. It's all media 24/7, got to get the breaking news style that is now the norm. Lebron hasn't even met with the coach or GM of the Cavs

Not as big of a deal, but the other day LeBron's kids were spotted at an airport in Ft. Lauderdale. Reportedly on way to Cleveland I believe. Also pretty telling that LeBron's meeting with Riley yesterday didn't conclude in an announcement of some kind. You'd also think that if LeBron wasn't going back to Cleveland, his agent or team would slow down the media wagon hyping him up to return to the Cavs.
It's all up in the air, but I'm pretty sure LeBron's going back to Ohio. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavs and Wolves already have a deal lined up to swap Love and Wiggins. Why else would Wiggins remain unsigned?
Maybe there's already a deal, cam, but what then is holding them back from announcing it? It seems to me that the longer they let Wiggins and Bennett impress in Vegas, the more difficult it will be to give them up.
And why isn't McDermott signed yet? Seems to me Chicago is keeping their options open for a Love deal.

Nonsense. The longer Lebron takes to make a decision or say anything of substance, the more he is inviting the hype. Cleveland is all abuzz about him coming back. He can/could have stopped the hype at any point.

I agree that Lebron is pushing the hype. But I don't think that means Cleveland is any more likely. I still think Lebron will return to Miami but there is some sort of back and forth that has been going on with him and Riley over money and trying to get Bosh and Wade to take less. The hype is making pushing all the leverage back to him in getting what I think he really wants, a max contract in Miami with Wade and Bosh. Because if it were any other situation, why hasn't Bosh signed? That is what I don't get. If Bosh has max money with Houston he should take it.

He should have to make a decision so there won't be as much hype? Why can't he take the time he needs to make the decision that he wants?

Sure, he can take as much time as he wants. It doesn't bother me one bit. But you said you couldn't put anything on Lebron about the hype. Fact is he can stop it anytime he wants.

Cavs pressed Celtics/Nets officials to complete paperwork on 3-way trade in last hour, needed it done "immediately." Cap space is clear now.
