I have a strong feeling that Lebron will leave the Cavs for his last team and as always team up with a very strong team.

MY guess would be the 76ers.

In 2018, his player option will be up and with the possibility of teaming up with his prodigy, ben Simmons, and Embiid seems to make the most sense.

Not going anywhere. Now if CP3 ends up on the Knicks, I could see him ponder it.

I think it depends on Irving's health. If Irving goes down with season ending injury i think Lebron may look for other team. Irving had injury problems in the past and he already missed a final series while Lebron at Cavs so if Lebron can't depend on him like he couldnt depend on Wade anymore he will bail out.

At this point Kyrie and Love are so much better than Melo or D-Wade it's not even remotely close. The discrepancy is only getting larger too.

True. However, playing for the 76ers makes a lot of sense.

They will have all the cap room in 2018 and can literally sign LEbron + Chris Paul and others.

Simmons doesn't strike me as a transcendent level player. I'm glad we ended up with Ingram.

Plus, LeBron already cemented his legacy by bringing a ring to Cleveland. Why do anything to mess it up?

IMO he'll end his career in Cleveland. He brought them a championship. Something that had eluded them for 52 years. He's also invested in multiple businesses in the city.

LeBron will be the next Kevin Johnson and he'll bring his "posse" with him.

A chain of unsuccessful restaurants in which waiters flop to the floor while delivering your food, throw powder in your face, complain to their managers, celebrate how good their service was before receiving their tips, and hold an ESPN primetime special to find out what your menu choices were.

Eh if LeBron left Cleveland a second time as hilarious as that would be I don't think Cavs fans will be that upset because he left a championship behind.

In many ways, James has rewritten a lot of the rules of superstar behavior, so I wouldn't totally discount any possibility.

He's the defending champ on a young squad so I don't really see him leaving Cleveland anytime soon.

If he went trolling for a ring, and hooks up with some young stars, I think there would be backlash. If he just teams up with Paul and Melo, I think a lot of people would just write it off as him wanting to play with his pals.

I am not buying the 76er scenario and I don't think it would turn out well if he did happen -- teams with stars at every position rarely succeed.

Ironically, the only championship team that had an All-Star level player at every position was also the only championship team to not have a single superstar. (2004 Detroit Pistons.)

He'll ride on as Kyrie takes over. Only change I see coming is a Love trade for another young superstar. Cousins?

He left Miami b/c they were aging and past their prime. If Wade was in his prime he'd still be there.

I'm not sure what all star level player means. However the Pistons only have four starters you ever made an All-Star team. Tayshaun Prince never did.

They're actually have been a lot of championship teams that had an All-Star at every position. Most of them pre-date the 1990s when it was easier to stockpile talent.

That's what I meant. They had four actual All-Stars plus a borderline All-Star in Prince.

Him and his posse are doing pretty good with their TV show "The Wall".
