Lebron James crushed the Cleveland Cavaliers fan's hearts in 2010 when he made the decision to leave the team that drafted him out of high school in 2003 to make a run for a championship by joining Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade in Miami.

As crazy as it might seem, the Cavs appear ready to try and bring Lebron back in the summer of 2014 when he becomes a free agent.

The Akron Beacon Journal's Jason Lloyd reported that the Cavs are saving cap room space to make the eight-time NBA All-Star a max contract offer.

Executives and agents around the league are convinced the Cavaliers won’t do anything to jeopardize their ability to sign a free agent to a max contract during the summer of 2014, when LeBron James can again become a free agent. As fans in Northeast Ohio continue to howl and remain divided about the possibility of his return, more and more people around the league believe there is a strong possibility James will indeed return to Cleveland after next season.

Lebron, an Ohio native who still lives there in the off season has said a return to Cleveland is not out of the question.

"I think it would be great," James said before a game against the Cavs last season. "It would be fun to play in front of these fans again. I had a lot fun times in my seven years here. You can't predict the future, and hopefully I continue to stay healthy. I'm here as a Miami Heat player, and I'm happy where I am now, but I don't rule that out in no sense."

Chris Broussard of ESPN points out that 30-year old Dwayne Wade appears to be losing a step and Lebron might look at Cleveland as a nice alternative to the Heat. Wade's scoring and assists are down this year from their career averages.

Cleveland has a nice nucleus of young players like Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters.

What do you think the chances are Lebron returns home in 2014? Take our poll and sound off in the comment section below.

Kidd Kidd recently dropped his hot single "New Warleans" featuring Juvenile. The G-Unit/Rida Gang rapper recently sat down with Bernadette Giacomazzo of Hip Hop Stardom 101 to talk about why he gave his hometown that name.

"The city is actually New Orleans but I named it 'New Warleans' because it's a constant war going on down there," Kidd Kidd said. "Whether it's beef, police brutality or whether we're at war with ourselves. It's just all out war down there."

Kidd Kidd also discusses his position within the G-Unit camp and says the roster is a close-knit group..

"I wanna address the G-Unit fans too. Because when Fif started messing with me and we started putting out music together. A lot of fans [were] seeing that Banks wasn't around a lot. So a lot of people felt as though I got wit Fif to try to replace Banks or something like that. It's nothing like that," he explained. "I do my own thing, it's Rida Gang over here. It's G-Unit/Rida Gang. Much love to Banks. There's no kind of problems or beef between 50 and Banks. The media is always gonna make it what they wanna make it. But it's no kind of problems. It's blood, this is family around here."

Chief Keef is back in jail after it was ruled Tuesday that he violated his probation from a 2011 gun charge.

Cook County Juvenile Court Judge Carl Anthony Walker said Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, exhibited a "clear disregard for the court's authority" by appearing with a gun during a 2012 interview with Pitchfork.com at at the West Side Rifle and Pistol Range in New York City

In the video that has since been taken down by Pitchfork, the rapper can be seen firing a semi-automatic Lugar rifle.

His attorney, Dennis Berkson, argued that the video was just for publicity purposes and that Keef was accompanied by representatives from Interscope Records at the time.

"This is no different than if he was in a movie," Berkson said. "It is a movie."

Despite Keef's attorney's arguments the judge wasn't hearing it. The 17-year-old rapper was immediately taken into custody following today's hearing in Juvenile Court in Chicago. He will be brought back to court on Thursday.to be sentenced according DNAInfo.com.

Keef was originally sentenced to probation in 2011 after being found guilty of pointing a gun at a Chicago police officer. At the time he was charged with four felonies. Three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm on a police officer and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He also was charged with a misdemeanor for resisting arrest.

Cassidy and Meek Mill are currently locked in an ongoing battle on wax. To date Cass has released two diss tracks, "Me, Myself & iPhone" and "R.A.I.D." While has dropped the song "Repo." There are a wide variety of opinions on who is winning the war of words. Power 105.1 radio personality Charlamagne Tha God recently sat down with Vlad TV to give his opinion on why he believes ultimately Cassidy can't win.

"Cassidy can't win man," Charlamagne said. "I'm on record saying that. If it was just like a URL battle where it was just Cassidy a capella [Vs.] Meek Mill a capella, I think Cassidy would win. Because I think Cassidy would take the Loaded Lux approach where he would basically be talking about spiritualism over materialism. And I think people would probably buy into that. But Meek Mill makes better songs than Cassidy. Cassidy is a better battle rapper, but Meek Mill makes better songs. And right now Meek Mill is the hot guy so Meek Mill can get better beats, and can afford better beats. I don't think can afford better beats and ain't nobody gonna be throwing Cassidy no beats for him to do a diss record towards Meek Mill. I feel like hip hop nowadays is more of a popularity contest than a talent show. So even if you are more skilled than your opponent, if you're not as popular as your opponent nobody's gonna care."

Charlamagne also said he thought it was wise of Meek not to battle Cass for $100,000. Check out the rest of the interview below.

Kid Cudi is gearing up for the release of his third studio album titled Indicud in March of this year. Complex has given him the cover of their upcoming February/March issue, which goes on sale February 4.

The 28-year old G.O.O.D. Music artist sits down with Complex's director of content strategy Joe La Puma for the issue's cover story. Check out an excerpt from it below.

When you were working on “Efflictim” for the WZRD EP, you said you would wake up in a terrible mood. Are you having fewer of those days now?
Hell yeah. Every day is an adventure. [Laughs.] My last relationship took a lot out of me. I needed to reboot and rebuild my life. I’m in a positive place now, a happier place. I’m enlightened. It’s better when you get older because you start to see things from a different perspective. Whether it’s love, or just trying to figure out what you’re going to do in life.

 

Are you enjoying being single?
I enjoy living my life for me and not by someone else’s rules. It gets lonely but the loneliness doesn’t bother me. I have time to think, time to write, time to myself. I’m winging it every day. I hope love finds me. I always hope for that. But now I’m super happy. I got my party shoes on every night.

 

Last time we spoke was in March. What’s been going on since then?
It’s been crazy for me. I took a trip on antidepressant lane for a little bit. After the WZRD song “Dr. Pill” everyone thought I was talking about molly or ecstasy. But I’m talking about prescription meds. I had just gotten a shrink. I was having an emotional breakdown with this breakup. I kept trying different pills for five months. It f*cked me up.

 

You addressed that on “Just What I Am.”
They weren’t working. It was every side effect on the bottle. I couldn’t f*ck. My body didn’t work. It was not good. I said, “Something’s wrong with me. What the f*ck? Why do I feel like I want to punch an elephant?” [Laughs.] “Why am I so irritable?” I finally got off the pills and then I started feeling normal. My brain went back to where it needed to be. I was able to analyze things and get my sh*t together.

 

What about therapy? Was that helping you?
A year ago I wouldn’t even go to a therapist or psychiatrist. But I gave it a shot. It’s working for me but it’s not for everyone. I’ve got some f*cking problems. [Laughs.] It’s good for me to talk to someone who helps me see things. I had no other choice.

 

I was like, “Damn, I have to take a pill in order to be OK?” It bothered me. That was a real good moment after I got off the pills. I started to feel like myself again. I was happy and sh*t. I don’t need anything to make me feel good. I just need to get my mind in check and stop trippin’ on bullsh*t. I need to stop letting motherf*ckers break me down, and make me feel like sh*t. I got to be a little stronger for myself and for my family and my fans. I can’t be out here like some simp, letting something beat me down and make me feel like a peon. It was about reclaiming who I am. It’s like “All right, let’s go. It’s time. F*ck everyone.” [Laughs.]

 

Who’s everyone?
Anyone that’s ever said anything negative, anyone that’s ever doubted me. I was a nice guy early in my career, and people in the business still found a way to call me a dick. Now I’m just like, whatever man. Fuck it. I’m trying to be nice to you cocksuckers and you don’t even deserve all that. It’s war. People don’t know what cool is.

 

So, what’s cool?
It’s not hard to grasp. Cool is just being fucking authentic. Being yourself, being straight up. Legit—and have some type of f*cking taste.

 

You called yourself the “Bane of Hip-Hop” and “Hip-Hop’s Villain: Leader of the Delinquents.” What makes these roles so enjoyable for you?
There are so many dynamics to a villain. Who are we to say they’re villains? They’re just people who see things in a different way and go to the extreme to show us how things should be. Hip-hop needs a wake-up call. I don’t think hip-hop is terrible, or it’s dead and all that bullshit. It’s better than it’s been in a long time. It’s just some industry sh*t. It’s super weak. Nobody’s authentic.

 

That’s good for me because when I do my sh*t, it makes me look like the greatest musician alive—and I’m not. I’m just doing what we should all be doing. I’m using the same drums everyone else uses, same synths, sometimes the same samples. I see things in my own way and execute them that way. Nobody really does that. People ask, “What’s going to sell? What’s going to do this or what’s going to do that?” It’s weak. Most people are p*ssies.
