Despite this being his 24th season, LeBron James is the biggest fish in NBA free agency — again.
At least half a dozen teams are reportedly trying to make a run at the four-time NBA champion, who informed the Los Angeles Lakers he wouldn’t return.
There have been conflicting reports about James’ next stop, though a return to Cleveland seems to be gaining steam.
According to ESPN insider Brian Windhorst, league sentiment is that James will return to the Cavaliers for a third glorious stint.
NBA teams think LeBron James will sign with the Cavaliers
“I’ve talked to people in Philly, and I’m like what do you think? ‘We’re afraid it’s Cleveland,’ – everybody I talked to is like ‘we’re afraid it’s Cleveland,’ – nobody seems like they have optimism,” Windhorst said on “Pardon My Take” (h/t ESPN Cleveland).
