Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:
How We Got Here: NBA free agency began on June 30 at 6 p.m. ET. However, hours before its official start, James’ agent, Rich Paul, announced that James had decided to leave the Lakers this summer in free agency. James played in L.A. for eight years — the longest he’s played in any other city besides Cleveland. While in L.A., he broke the all-time scoring record, won an NBA title and earned his fourth NBA Finals MVP. In addition to his tenure in Los Angeles, he’s played for the Cavaliers and the Heat, winning titles with all three franchises. He won Rookie of the Year, has four regular-season MVPs and is a 22-time All-Star.
What’s Next?: Atop the board is one of James’ two former teams, the Miami Heat. James played four seasons in Miami, making the Finals each year and winning twice. If James were to make his way back to South Beach, he would join Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo in making a star-studded trio. Second on the board is his other former team, the Cavaliers. Cleveland made it to the Eastern Conference finals last season, but were swept by the eventual champion Knicks.
