NBA Rumors: The only team LeBron James would NEVER go to
Having played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers, the 4-time MVP of the best basketball league in the world will not wear the Boston Celtics jersey.
LeBron James' decision still hasn't arrived, and uncertainty continues to mark the NBA market. Currently, the Miami Heat are the top favorites to land the four-time MVP, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Behind them are the Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers, although the order varies based on different circulating reports.
One thing that Brian Windhorst seems clear about is the team LeBron won't play for.
Windhorst: "Boston would occupy the 30th spot on his list"
During the Hoops Collective podcast, the ESPN journalist stated that the Boston Celtics would be James' last choice.
"I think Boston would be at number 30 on his list. I sincerely believe that. He despises Boston," Windhorst affirmed.
Celtics Among the Teams without Contact with LeBron
On the other hand, ESPN journalist Dave McMenamin explained that Rich Paul, LeBron James' agent, confirmed that 27 out of the 30 NBA franchises had been in contact with the player or that, conversely, it was James and his associates who had initiated the conversations.
Although McMenamin did not identify the remaining three teams, the information suggests that Boston could be one of them.
No One Knows the Final Decision Yet
Aside from ruling out the Celtics as a destination, Windhorst admitted he still doesn't know which team LeBron James will choose next.
He explained that the uncertainty is such that even coaches and other members of the aspiring franchises directly ask him what he thinks the outcome of the operation will be. However, he stated that he cannot provide a definitive answer.
"Knowing his way of thinking, I suspect he has known for some time what direction he wants to take. But evidently, the decision is not yet final," he noted.
The Wait Continues
Last Monday morning, journalist Shams Charania affirmed that all necessary information is on the table, although there is still no established timeline for LeBron James to officially announce his decision.
"...And we all continue waiting," Charania summarized regarding one of the stories that continues to monopolize NBA market attention.
