A lot of of speculation rose on June 22 that NBA superstar LeBron James will be coming home to the Cleveland Cavaliers after his wife, Savannah, posted a rather cryptic message on her Instagram account.

Savannah James, uploaded a photo of a map of the state of Ohio with a star on the city of Akron. She added the caption, "Home sweet home!! The countdown is real! #330."

Akron is the hometown of LeBron James, while 330 is its telephone area code. Although several NBA teams are looking to acquire James as he enters free agency status in just over a week, there are also rumors that he will take on the role of the prodigal son and finally come home to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In a report by Yahoo! Sports, James left Cleveland for Miami after playing with the Cavaliers for seven seasons. He reached the NBA Finals for the first time in 2007 with the Cavs but they were swept by the same San Antonio Spurs that beat the Miami Heat in the 2014 NBA Finals. James aimed to win at least six championships with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh at his side but their efforts proved to be short as Tim Duncan and the other ageless athletes of San Antonio put a stop to a possible three-peat championship by the Heat.

Cleveland.com writes that fans should not overreact to Savannah's post. Many commented that she was most likely only excited to be back home after spending almost a year in Miami. LeBron and Savannah are expecting their third child. Fans already started rumors linked to Savannah's possible innocent Instagram post. Previously, there were talks that James already enrolled his boys, LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus in a school in Ohio but the rumors were immediately denied. Their third child is a baby girl.

According to the International Business Times, fans still continue to count on the possibility of LeBron returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs have a few advantages, such as a better roster than the one James played with for seven years before leaving, as well as a salary cap space. Should "The King" return, he will be playing alongside a couple of other No. 1 NBA draft picks, Kyrie Irving and the 2014 top draft. These are also good offers for James aside from the fact that he will no longer receive the ire of the Cleveland fans he left behind.
