LeBron's letter noticeably omits reference to Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett
The letter LeBron James released with the help of Lee Jenkins and Sports Illustrated was measured, well crafted, and carefully thought out.
James mentioned that he was looking forward to playing with the likes of Tristan Thompson, Kyrie Irving, and Dion Waiters as he helps lead a group of young talented player.
He also noticeably omitted the last two No. 1 overall picks, Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett.
The rumor mill is in overdrive as many speculate that Wiggins and Bennett will be dangled in trade discussions, likely for Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.
The team also has a healthy war chest of draft picks, including what is now a potential lottery pick in the Miami Heat's 2015 first round pick.
It seems LeBron's decision to return to Cleveland hasn't halted the rumor mill - instead, it's been pushed into overdrive.
