A source told The Plain Dealer that the Cavaliers maintain an edge to sign LeBron James as a free agent this summer.

"Despite all summits/rumors/reports," wrote Brian Windhorst on his Twitter page, "LeBron source told me this morning that Cavs still have edge in race."

Later in a full-length article, Windhorst said that the additional cash the Cavs can offer, plus the fact that James makes his home in nearby Akron, continue to keep the Cavs in the lead.  

"This is based not only on the fact that the Cavs can pay him $30 million more than another team over the next six years, but also that it is James' home," Windhorst wrote.

"After all the meetings, according to sources, James is expected to make his decision over a period of several days," Windhorst added. "Until then, James does not plan on committing to anything."
