Treat this like a movie. I'm going to play most of the games and prep everything while I'm doing these little 'episodes'. I thought this would be a great idea for a TV Show and I've decided I should try and make my vision come to life with 2k10.
After another early offseason, LeBron James- and the rest of the world, is starting to question his fate in Cleveland. As the undisputed best player in the game, many people think that he should move on where he can truly utilize his talent and win championships, and many that think that he needs to stay with the Cavaliers and win that NBA Championship for Cleveland, citing players like Michael Jordan who didn't win an NBA championship until he was 27.

"Shaq, what should I do?" LeBron asked his teammate.
"When I left Orlando... They had a heck of a team. But LA just felt right for me and I had fun and I had success there," said Shaq. "Orlando wasn't a bad organization, and neither is Cleveland. I'm sure if I stayed in Orlando we would have won some championships too."
"...alright. Thanks Shaq," LeBron responded. He took his phone away from his ear and hung up.

"First of all, I'd like to apologize to the city for not carrying the team further... The Celtics played tough and we just didn't take it to them every game," LeBron opened up.
A reporter in the crowd raised his hand. LeBron gave her a nod of acknowledgment as she began her question.
"So where are you going to play next year?"
"I'm keeping my options open. I had a talk with Shaq last night and I think what I'm going to do is go to the training camps of every NBA team before I make a decision."
"You realize not every team has cap space?"
"Yea I realize that, but at this point it's no longer about the money, but more about keeping my options open. I love the city of Cleveland and I want you all to know that no matter where I play," LeBron said. He looked down at the desk. "I'm sorry,"
And without another word, LeBron got up and left the conference room. Cameras flashed as the security struggled to hold back the wave of reporters.

"So what's the plan?" Shaq asked.
"I'm going to try out for every single team. I'll go in order from worst record to the best record," LeBron said.
"So Cleveland is gonna be last. Classy,"
"I'll call you back,"
