After the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James hasn’t confirmed if he’ll return with the team. As a consequence, rumors point out at the Miami Heat as a possible alternative.

ā€œI’ve seen, heard a lot of reports about my future. I said it last night and I’ll say it again. I do not know yet as I’m only thinking about spending time with my family & friends! When I know after speaking with the fam, my counsel as as my representation about it then you guys will know. Until then (silence emoji). Love.ā€
