Million possibilities. For the record, Lebron said he was simply working out at the school. But he could have been checking it out in case he moves to LA. Or he could have a kid who wants to break into the entertainment industry so his family is going to live in LA during the season; some NBA players live apart from their families during the regular season since they travel so much anyway.
These people live complicated lives, so who knows? Lebron, being Lebron, I'm not sold that he has even made a decision on what he's going to do. |

If players want to take less money they can sign anywhere

TBH, no matter which team LBJ goes, they arent going to beat GSW.
Philly seems to have the best upside consider the promising youth they have. Nevertheless, it is the least possible location he will go. Both Ben Simmons and LBJ need the ball in their hands to thrive, and there is just one ball in the game. This is not going to work.
As for the LA, its clearly just a decision solely based on cash consideration. If he chooses LA, he is only making plans for his life after retirement, don't expect him to compete at the highest level like he does right now.
I would say he most likely will stay in Cleveland. |

I must admit, I am a fan of Lebron, you have to respect greatness.
Kobe will probably always be my favorite player though, and I would take him to start any team.
Dont really want Lebron in LA either, too expensive, too much risk. Lebron would have to take a 5-10 million dollar paycut for me to want him in LA.
Cleveland is where Lebron should be. |

Rockets are playing the best basketball in the league so it makes a lot of sense for him to be interested in that team. The Warriors definitely wouldn’t want that. It’s a much better big 3 than the one he had with himself, Irving and Love. Love never really looked that great in Cleveland. |

You dont say no to LeBron if he wants to come ... and the Rox have been the best at pitching FA's the past 5-6 years. But if im the Rox I dont lose sleep if he doesnt come. They will get somone regardless.
Even as a Laker fan im okay if he stays in Cle...he is the best player in the game right now ...but our young guys need more seasoning. |

George would never sign with the Clippers over the Lakers. He grew up a die hard Laker/Kobe fan not to mention we can also pay him more. |

I don't want him here either. We already have a bright future with Ingram and Kuzma who are going to dominate for many years. I don't want an aging star to come in and mess up their development. That's why I say if we sign someone, let it be a center (Cousins) or a 2 guard (Paul George). That way the minutes for our young core isn't interrupted. |

Cleveland is the best place for LeBron.

Let's keep 1 thing in mind, there is tons and tons of players in the NBA who grew up a Laker fan but did not end up playing for the Lakers, so there is nothing wrong with him being a Clipper fan, right now Tatum probably hates the Lakers now that he's with the Celts but he's supposedly been a Laker fan his whole life so if George is traded here or is signed here, I'm pretty sure he will quickly forget about the Clippers. |

I would guess who they rooted for as kids doesn't really factor in much when NBA players make career decisions. |

| Houston by far. They have Paul and Harden, they would add 3-4 years to Lebrons career probably. At this stage he needs to play with more true pg. |

So I have now seen a few philly games and I’m not so sure Lebron would go there tbh. It’s nothing to do with the loss tonight to OKC; it’s more just that they might be a bit overhyped. Any team would love to have Simmons and Embiid but man 14-14 in a weak east and they don’t particulary look good in stretches of games.
There is also the injury factor. Embiid looks like a ticking time bomb. Sixers fans are holding their breath every time he falls or gets fouled and reaches for something. Just don’t see Lebron taking the risk.
He might just end up in Houston, especially if they show well in a conference finals against GSW. |

I honestly doubt that many of them sat around watching games every night, even most of the ones that claim to have been big fans of so and so. |

I think the days of talking about the weak east are ending -- seems like the two divisions have evened out. |
