Where to, LeBron?
The Lakers? Rockets? 76ers? Celtics? At least one more year in Cleveland?
Is this summer’s decision about your legacy? Your family? Is there a way to do justice to both?
As the past two NBA Finals have painfully taught Cleveland Cavaliers fans, 33-year-old LeBron James may well be able to wrap up his career in his home state, keep his family and friends by his side and remain a force in the Eastern Conference for the foreseeable future. Four straight trips to the NBA Finals for the Cavs have made that all but a certainty.
It’s winning it all, as they shockingly did in 2016, that may be out of the Cavs’ reach as they’re currently constructed. Especially if quirky owner Dan Gilbert won’t toss aside any semblance of financial responsibility to surround his once-in-a-franchise talent with at least one more All-Star caliber performer, if not two.
