Not only does he have sway. What Lebron says goes. Think it's clear the Cavs will make an offer and that they'll have to overpay. A 2 year contract gives you that leverage.
And that completely sucks. Lebron is a great player but he's not a personnel guy. It's well known that a lot of the awful decisions the Cavs made his first time around was because of Lebron's advice. Secondly and much more importantly, if he is indeed talking to Love, he destroyed all leverage. That is, unless Love goes to the media or even privately and directly says "the only team I will go to is Cleveland." If that happens, the shell game becomes interesting because now both teams HAVE to make this deal and both teams know it.
