    <description>First thing&amp;#39;s first.&amp;lt;p/&amp;gt;   The round of speculation that has LeBron James possibly signing with the Heat next summer is only the current direction this discussion is going. Next week it&amp;#39;ll be different. The week after that it&amp;#39;ll change again, and so on until the 2010 free agency period actually arrives, by which time every possibility will have been discussed at least once, including the idea of James signing with Sacramento under the condition that the team adds an apostrophe to make them the King&amp;#39;s.</description>
