Speculation about a trade involving LeBron James continues unabated. Over the past few days, four teams have been repeatedly mentioned as being willing to engineer a trade for the 40-year-old. Now it seems that it is finally clear which teams these are.
The player option being exercised, the lack of mutual interest in a contract extension, the rejected option to put the rumors to rest. There are many indications these days that LeBron James is no longer happy with the Los Angeles Lakers. A trade also seems increasingly likely.
In recent days, the number of NBA teams interested in trading for James has been repeatedly mentioned as four. However, it has always been unclear which teams these are. TV host and NBA insider Brandon Robinson may now have shed some light on the matter. Via X, he named the following teams:
Dallas Mavericks
Golden State Warriors
Cleveland Cavaliers
Los Angeles Clippers
The teams have not yet been confirmed by a second source. However, one thing is clear: according to consistent media reports, the Golden State Warriors were already interested in a deal for James last summer. The Cleveland Cavaliers have also been mentioned several times as a potential suitor for a reunion.
After exercising his player option, LeBron James still has a contract for the coming season (53 million dollars) before he becomes a free agent. It is still completely open as to what the future holds for the four-time NBA champion. Even the end of his career is a possibility.
