NBA Rumors: Warriors among 4 likely destinations if LeBron James leaves the Lakers

LeBron James is having the time of his life in Bad Bunny’s show in Puerto Rico. The NBA media is having an incredible time speculating on his future too. Every offseason, the King’s next team is thrown into question. This time, it’s four different franchises the ones lurking in, including the Golden State Warriors.

NBA insider, Brandon Robinson, reported on his social media that there are four teams really interested in the King. “Mavs, Warriors, Cavs, Clippers” were the names Robinson posted.

Interestingly enough, all these four teams might have something to at least tempt James. Of course, the reason we’re here is to explore those reasons. Having said that, James just opted for his player option, meaning contractually at least, he will stay in the Lakers.

James has flirted or has been flirted by all these teams before

James has stated before that he would love to play with Steph Curry, however, Curry is not leaving the Warriors. Playing at Chase Center would also give James the chance to play with good friend Draymond Green. Not to mention, the chance to win another NBA ring.

As for the Mavs, they have a loaded roster and James would reunite with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. Both have won championships with LeBron. Also, Bron would play with another number one pick in Cooper Flagg. The Clippers give LeBron the chance to stay in L.A. Plus, there’s James Harden and Kawhi Leonard there.

The Cavs would give James the opportunity to close his career at home, and have a full-circle moment by returning where it all started. Cleveland also has a deep roster to help LeBron, including Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley.

LeBron might take into consideration his sons

While Bronny James is on the Lakers, Bryce will be eligible in 2026. LeBron might take both of his sons’ futures in consideration. He already did it with Bronny. If he wants to play with Bryce too, it’s not out of question that he will move pieces to make it happen. While he plays on the Lakers or moves elsewhere, LeBron’s future will always be an interesting topic to follow.
