On the recent Cleveland All-Star Weekend, James gave an interview to the media. In the interview, James said he could end his career outside of Southern California, meaning the 4-time regular season MVP could make his fourth decision in the near future.
James has one final year left on his contract with the Lakers, and his decision could come as soon as next summer. So which teams could be his next stop? Today, the famous andrew Holleran wrote an article listing his three potential next homes, which caused a heated discussion among fans.
1. Cleveland Knight
As James' hometown team, the Cavaliers were the starting point of James' career, having twice played for the team and bringing the only championship trophy in team history to his hometown people. Emotionally speaking, the fallen leaves are a good choice, and James himself said in an interview with the media that for him, the door back to the Cavaliers has not been closed.
However, a more realistic question is that the Cavaliers have completed the rebuild, and now that the team has young cores such as Mobley and Garland, whether they will make targeted adjustments for the "old" James will be a suspense.
2. Washington Wizards
James also said in the interview that the last year of his career will be with his son Brownie on a team, which is his long-cherished wish, but the question is, is Brownie an NBA-level player? At present, the outside world is not optimistic. The Lakers and Cavaliers may not sign the Brownies to cater to James, but the Wizards will. This is a team that once pushed Jordan back.
3. New York Knicks
The Knicks have the largest ball market in the league, which could help James continue to expand his business footprint. Compared to the Lakers, the Knicks do not seem to have much pursuit of the record, they have been missing the playoffs for many seasons, in the past many seasons, they have been trying to bring in stars, but few big stars are interested in them, if James is willing to join, even at the end of his career, I believe Dolan will open his arms.
