CLEVELAND, OH (AP) -- LeBron James is the talk of the town even in his absence.
James was not at the King City Classic as part of his Nike-sponsored basketball camp on Thursday, hours before the free agent was set to announce which team he'll sign with.
Some of college basketball's top coaches including Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina's Roy Williams, West Virginia's Bob Huggins and Syracuse's Jim Boeheim are at Cleveland State University watching high school stars and waiting to see if James will show up.
Everyone wants to know what's next, and there's rampant speculation that James is considering Miami to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
"I think it would become both of their teams," said Boeheim, an assistant coach for the U.S. Olympic team in China two years ago. "They are both such great players. At the Olympics, they were on the court at the same time and scored a point every second. I think they could play together. I don't think it's that big of a deal. They would have a good chance with those three, that's for sure."
Boeheim says it might not matter where James ends up: "Whatever happens I don't think anyone is going to beat the Lakers anyway."
