Between his taking his talents to South Beach, the decision to head back to Cleveland and now his time in Tinseltown, LeBron James has done a fair bit of moving around as the NBA’s biggest superstar over the past decade and a half or so.
Whether the 37-year-old will be on the move again this summer, despite having another year left on his contract beyond this one, remains to be seen. But the basketball world certainly grew curious this past All-Star weekend, during which LeBron made a point of not closing the door on a return to Cleveland.
It was one of a handful of things James said that raised eyebrows; it is noteworthy timing in light of the fact that the Lakers—just 27–31 and in ninth place out West—had just stood pat at the trade deadline. A deadline that James wanted, if not expected, to see his front office make some meaningful changes to the roster, according to a report from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
