After his Cleveland Cavaliers got swept by the Golden State Warriors in the 2018 NBA Finals, LeBron James has a tough decision to make. Whether to stay in Cleveland and try to do it once again by himself, or use his right as unrestricted free agent and go to a team where he will have a better chance of winning another NBA title.

Asked by the reporters about his future, the 33-year-old said that he will first discuss that decision with his family and currently doesn’t have an answer on the question.

“The one thing that I’ve always done is considered, obviously, my family,” –James told reporters after the defeat against the Warriors. “Understanding especially where my boys are at this point in their age. They were a lot younger the last time I made a decision like this four years ago. I’ve got a teenage boy, a preteen and a little girl that wasn’t around as well. So sitting down and considering everything, my family is a huge part of whatever I’ll decide to do in my career, and it will continue to be that. So I don’t have an answer for you right now as far as that.“

While his family will have the biggest influence on the decision, the opportunity to win another championship will also play a major part in it.

“For me, I still have so much to give to the game,” – said James. “When you have a goal and you’re able to accomplish that goal, it actually–for me, personally–it made me even more hungry to continue to try to win championships, and I still want to be in championship mode. I think I’ve shown this year why I will still continue to be in championship mode.“

LeBron James has a player option for the 2018-19 season in his contract, but he will likely opt-out and become a free agent in the summer. He has time until the end of June to inform the Cavs about his decision.

We are half a year away from that moment, but the free agency of LeBron James is still one of the hottest topics in the NBA. The fact is that James himself probably doesn’t know where he will be playing in the 2018-19 NBA season, but that didn’t stop people to speculate that he could stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers, end up with the Los Angeles Lakers or god forbid, go to the Golden State Warriors. But, none of these options are good for him. The King should go to the San Antonio Spurs and get that GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) label he dreams about.

What is LeBron James chasing at this moment? The shadow of Michael Jordan, who is currently considered the greatest basketball player of all time. In order for James to catch it, he needs more rings. He won’t get that in Cleveland but in San Antonio? That would be an entirely different story. With Gregg Popovich as coach and Kawhi Leonard as his sidekick, James would cruise to at least three more NBA titles. No disrespect to Tyron Lue or Erik Spoelstra, but they are not all-time greats. LeBron needs an opportunity to be coached by one of the best coaches in the history of the game. MJ had always had that advantage over LeBron. Without Phil Jackson in Chicago, Jordan spent first three years of his professional career being eliminated in the First Round of the playoffs.

There are plenty of positives for LeBron in case he makes the move. He would be a part of a functional, well-oiled machine that always wants to win, opposite to the mess he is now in. He wouldn’t have to guard the opponent’s best player every night, Kawhi could do that. Also, if there is a coach that can find an answer to the offensive explosiveness of the Warriors, that is Pop. Popovich makes average players good and good players great. Imagine what he could do with a transcendent player of James’ caliber. Finally, other top free agents would follow LeBron to the Spurs. Playing with Kawhi didn’t draw people to San Antonio so far, but Kawhi and The King combo would certainly do the trick.

The negatives are that the Spurs would have to gut their bench in order to get LeBron. The King wants to be the GOAT but not so much that he would be willing to get a hefty pay cut. Also, James wouldn’t have the influence on the front office he has in Cleveland. There is no one above the Spurs organization.

As you see, the positives overpower the negatives, but unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that LeBron James will leave Cleveland. Although he should. He brought them their first NBA championship and three straight NBA finals trips. The King doesn’t owe them anything anymore.

LeBron James is in the final year of his contract with Cleveland Cavaliers, and immediately after NBA Finals wrapped up, people started speculating about his next destination. If Cavaliers won those Finals, we wouldn’t be talking about this. But, since they got almost swept by the Golden State Warriors, many people started speculating that James is looking for a new home. Cavaliers’ roster just doesn’t seem capable of challenging the Warriors, and maybe The King realized this. Although many people see him as a Laker from the next season, Blake Griffin offered his view on the matter saying: “I could see [LeBron] going to New York before L.A. I still think, when you go to the Garden, it’s a completely different feeling.”
TMZ reporter decided to ask James about this who said “I don’t know what you even talking about. What’s going on?” You can check the way he responded in the video below.

There are a couple of reasons why we could indeed see James in Lakers jersey. They have a young talented squad there that includes Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram, while also having enough cap space to offer James a lucrative contract and bring other superstar free agents. James is already living in LA during the off-season and has called it his “home” multiple times. It doesn’t hurt that his wife simply loves it there or that majority of James’ businesses are stationed in Los Angeles. The talk about Knicks seems something Griffin said to tease people a bit. New York Knicks are not in a good place now, and they are looking to get rid of Carmelo Anthony while rebuilding with Kristaps Porzingis as their center piece. James, on the other hand, wants to be in a place where he will be able to compete for a ring.
