ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith created a media frenzy yesterday when he suggested James will discuss the possibility of signing with Boston this summer.
"LeBron James is going to have a conversation with the Cleveland Cavaliers," Smith said.
"They can offer him the most, and they are willing to do anything they can to keep him here. ... He's going to have a conversation with Boston.
It is an unlikely scenario considering the Celtics don't have the cap space to sign him.
Boston would literally have to dump one of Kyrie Irving, Al Horford or Gordon Hayward.
And Celtics fans have made it clear that they don't want to see their team completely revamp their roster to sign James.
"Any Celtic fan who wants LeBron isn't a true Green fan!! We don't want him!" One fan posted on Twitter.

Another said: "If James were to become a Boston Celtics I would be hanging up my Celtic fan jersey after being a 60 year fan. He can play but he will never be Celtic Green"
And one other fan said: "I am so biased with the current roster that I don't want to change anything. I love the team the way it is."
Boston could still be active in the offseason with decisions to be made over the futures of Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier.
There have been some suggestions that Boston could entertain trading away Irving if they're able to get an excellent offer in return.
