Lebron James

Don’t worry, pipe-dreaming NBA fans. LeBron James has seen the extravagant billboards. And the writing in the sky behind planes. He knows you want him on your favorite team, and that your favorite team probably wants him, too. Still, he has no intention of staging a big to-do should he decline his player option and [...]

Not so fast, Kevin Love trade enthusiasts. Most expect the Cleveland Cavaliers to heavily shop Love this summer, regardless of what LeBron James does in free agency. If LeBron leaves, they’ll have little use for a soon-to-be 30-year-old approaching his own free agency in 2019 (player option). If LeBron stays, he will instantly becomes their [...]

Chris Paul cares not for salary-cap gymnastics. He’s trying to recruit LeBron James to the Houston Rockets anyway. Consider what Adrian Wojnarowski said during ESPN’s Monday draft special (via NBC Sports’ Dan Feldman): Chris is going to return there. And listen, right now, Chris Paul’s focus isn’t so much on his own free agency. He’s [...]

If you haven’t already heard, the first bomb of the 2018 NBA off season was officially dropped Friday afternoon: Kawhi Leonard wants out of San Antonio.

Most oddsmakers view the Los Angeles Lakers as the singular favorites to land LeBron James (player option) this offseason. LaVar Ball is right there with them. Speaking on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the father of Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball talked about the possibility of LeBron sporting purple and gold—a scenario he all but deemed a formality: Here’s a [...]

Disparage, denigrate, and deprecate if you must, but I’ve seen Magic’s Showtime Lakers in person, I had an unhealthy obsession with Jordan’s Bulls—especially for someone who lives in Los Angeles—, and I saw every single basket Kobe Bryant ever made as a professional. I have also seen almost every basket that LeBron James has made [...]

Four teams are typically mentioned in the LeBron James free-agency sweepstakes: The Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers. People have tried making the Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics and even the Miami Heat a thing, but this really appears to be a four-team race. Gregg Popovich, though, may be hoping to [...]

Kevin Love clearly wants LeBron James to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well that, or he really wants the four-time MVP to take him wherever he goes in free agency. Speaking about his future in Cleveland on the heels of another NBA Finals loss to the Golden State Warriors, Love indicated a desire to not [...]

It might be time to ditch the LeBron James-to-Houston pipe-dream scenarios. Speaking on The Athletic’s TK Show, ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes said that he’s been hearing the Rockets are not a realistic destination for the four-time MVP (via NBC Sports’ Dan Feldman): Houston has been linked a lot. I’ve been told that that’s not a realistic option. [...]

Here’s his postgame clip, via NBA TV: [tweet https://twitter.com/NBATV/status/1004583287614947328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2F] LeBron has a point here—a salient one. Yes, the Warriors got 43 points on hyper-efficient shooting from [...]
