LeBron James Rumors: Cleveland Cavaliers Sign Big Foot in Effort to Sway King

In response to the Bulls signing Carlos Boozer and the Heat signing Chris Bosh, the Cavaliers have made a huge signing of their own.

Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant has announced that the team has come to terms for a five-year, $10 million contract with Big Foot, the legendary giant from the Pacific Northwest.

"We'd seen grainy footage of him and thought he had the body for the NBA," Grant said.

"He's 10'4'', he can rebound (probably), and he eats people. Name another player in the league that can do that. I can only think of one other guy who did that, and he didn't even play in the NBA."

Big Foot could not be reached for comment, but his agent, Leon Rose, said that his client was very happy with the deal.  

"Though money literally means nothing to Big Foot, it's nice to know that I will receive all $10 million of his contract as a result of that." Rose said.

When asked by the press why he would allow what could be such a severe unleveling of the playing field with this signing, David Stern replied, "Look, we're less popular than hockey right now. We gotta do something."

It has already started to boost revenue for the league as the Cavaliers have begun producing Big Foot merchandise, including Big Foot jerseys, bobbleheads, and artificial hair that kids can put on themselves to look more like Big Foot.

Byron Scott, the new coach of the team, said he was very impressed with Big Foot in the few workouts he saw. 

"There was one play that stood out, where Delonte (West) stole the ball from him, and Big Foot tore his arms off.  At that moment he reminded me a lot of Bill Laimbeer."

The team said they feel more optimistic about this big man signing than some of their others in the past. 

"(Ben) Wallace didn't really work out. Shaq didn't really work out. Third time's a charm, and that charm's name is Big Foot," said a representative inside the Cavaliers organization.

The Cavaliers are still looking to sign other creatures including Big Foot's cousin, The Yeti, and all the monsters from SpaceJam .

ESPN reports that the giant purple guy, the giant green guy, and the giant blue guy from SpaceJam are having a free agent summit to discuss where they all could end up.  

Regardless of their decisions, the Cavaliers are supposedly now the leader to land LeBron. And Chris Grant seems to believe it will happen.

"Though the future is uncertain, we feel we have made a big step in re-signing LeBron James with this move. Only time will tell now."
