Tension over Edwards Trade

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James(notes) doesn't like former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards very much, particularly after the wide receiver got into some kind of scuffle with one of James' friends outside a Cleveland nightclub. And now the pair don't have to share the same city since Edwards was traded to the New York Jets.

There is a fear in New York, though, that the presence of Edwards in the Big Apple could hurt the chances of the New York Knicks to sign LeBron James to a deal next summer when he will be an unrestricted free agent, according to the New York Post. The Knicks were already working against the fact that the Cavs can pay James more money than they can and that the Cavaliers have built a strong team around James but the Edwards deal may be the final nail in the coffin. James is staying mum: "Nothing to comment on," James said. "You guys never asked me before about any other trades in the NFL. It's not my sport to worry about."

Still, if the Knicks can get another big name to sign early in free agency next summer and lob as much cash as possible at James, the team is still hoping to reel him in.

Right now it's looking like a pipe dream.
