![]() ![]() ![]() The Heat, Nets, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers also can afford to offer a player about $16.6 million next season, which is the maximum someone with James' amount of NBA experience can make. These last two elements are why LeBron probably has little interest in moving, especially with Bronny starring for the local Sierra Canyon high school team (it was a deliberate decision by James to prioritise his son's career in his thinking prior to moving to Los Angeles) despite the Lakers' struggles this season and last.They'll have plenty of competition. ensuring he gets the chance to share an NBA floor with son Bronny, before his career is over). You also have to consider the influence he holds and commands over decision-making at organisational level, some would say deservedly-so given his achievements, and how to strike the correct the respective balancing of his interests and the team's (ie. Anything James says is a story and although he is careful with his words in sporting terms, his other interests mean he will prioritise other elements when it comes to decision-making over what he says on other platforms. Then there are all of the business and other interests and considerations, TV shows etc, that he now has as priorities in his life.

However, with a global superstar such as James, there is always a massive hullabaloo and that comes along with him. He is a winner with an infectious desire to succeed and capable of lifting his team-mates around him to greater heights. The word 'baggage' is used with a degree of caution – LeBron James is an outstanding professional and dedicated athlete who is brilliant for the culture of any organisation he comes into. Regardless, what the Cavs would be giving up would not be worth whatever LeBron has left in the tank. Watch as Donovan Mitchell scores 32 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Chicago Bulls in Week 1 of the NBAĪny hypothetical package is hard to foresee because the draft capital would not interest the Lakers so likely a third team would have to get involved wanting picks and it is hard to see how a deal could happen. Together with the veterans from the bench, it makes for a nice balance of prodigiously-talented young players (Garland and Allen – along with Mitchell, brought in from the Utah Jazz – are already All-Stars and Mobley should be in future), while the veterans on the bench make for a nice balance.īringing in LeBron, even if age does not begin to catch up with him, which surely must happen eventually, would go against what looks to be a smooth timeline for contention for a talented squad. Their primary cast members are now Evan Mobley (21), Darius Garland (22), Jarrett Allen (24), Donovan Mitchell (26) and Caris LeVert (28). The Cavaliers, though, are on a completely different timeline, and already boast the necessary experience in the squad with one of LeBron's partners-in-crime in the 2016 title team, Kevin Love, along with the likes of Robin Lopez, Raul Neto and – when he returns – Ricky Rubio.
