LeBron James’ departure from the Los Angeles Lakers after this season seems like a foregone conclusion.
The Lakers are now Luka’s team. They are building for the future and will have significant cap space in the offseason if LeBron doesn’t return.
So, what does that mean for King James? He still can ball and retirement doesn’t feel imminent. And what does this all mean for Bronny James?
The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have opened four different props regarding the future of the James gang.
The Cleveland Cavaliers stand the best chances of landing King James, according to the oddsmakers at BetOnline.
LeBron James praised the Cavs performance last month, calling them "amazing" and noting their strong, improved roster".
This past weekend, James quipped about who he thinks is heading to the NBA Finals this year.
“Well obviously I’m going to say my team, the Lakers, but if you wanted me to pick one other team, I would say the Cavs," James said. "They for sure got some new great additions."
James was drafted by the Cavaliers in 2003. He has played for the franchise twice. He won a championship in 2016 playing at Cleveland.
