LeBron James’s next destination is the major domino yet to fall in a wild NBA offseason. Ahead of the league’s free-agency negotiating period, he informed the Lakers that he would return next season for his 24th year, but he planned to play elsewhere.
That ended an eight-year run for James with the Lakers that included an NBA title, many shattered records and even the realization of his dream of playing with his son, Bronny. After his record 23rd NBA season, he was slated to be an unrestricted free agent which left three options on the table: Work out a new deal with Los Angeles, head elsewhere in free agency or suddenly call it quits for good.
