LeBron James could be close to picking a new NBA team.
The league’s all-time leading scorer has been pondering his options since announcing plans to leave the Los Angeles Lakers when NBA free agency opened last month.

James possesses leverage in terms of his timing because his agent, Rich Paul, indicated money won’t drive their decision. But the latest reports suggest he is at least narrowing his options and might be on the verge of figuring out where he will play in his record 24th NBA season.
ESPN’s Shams Charania said on the Tuesday, July 14 episode of NBA Today that James has “a focus on Cleveland, Miami and Philadelphia,” with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors also mentioned as contenders for James (through Paul) in recent days.
A report from Front Office Sports noted that multiple NBA front office executives also consider the Warriors a serious threat to sign James.
