Summer is still far away, but the great soap opera is already looming. Lebron James is almost out of the Los Angeles Lakers and is already thinking about where he will play what seems to be his last professional season. Once the Lakers are eliminated from the playoffs, negotiations will unfold, but there are already strong NBA rumors about his possible destinations.
It is commonly accepted that the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to be the ideal and most plausible option, implying LeBron James's return home and getting involved in a highly competitive project where he can contend for the ring in his final season. However, there are two other franchises that could tempt the player greatly and shatter that idyllic dream of the Ohio team. It seems that only these two teams can disrupt what was taken for granted a few days ago.
There is a strong possibility that the Golden State Warriors decide to make LeBron's great dream a reality, as stated by the man himself: playing alongside Stephen Curry. Joining these two friends would provide a huge media boost to the entire NBA. In negotiating terms, it could be feasible for Jimmy Butler to land in the Lakers to play a complementary role to Luka. Seeing the 23 dressed in the jersey of his eternal rival and seeking a ring alongside Curry would be spectacular.
Another option being considered is that LeBron James joins the New York Knicks. This move would be very bold and risky for the New Yorkers, who would have to break the solid unit they have built to welcome a player in his final professional year. It seems that only a real disaster in these playoffs or winning the ring would drive the Knicks' management to bet on this and seek a historic event, such as witnessing one of the greatest players in history wearing the franchise's jersey.
