JAKARTA - The future of LeBron James with the Los Angeles Lakers is now a question mark. There is news that the player will leave the Lakers with a no trade clause.
The 37-year-old was reportedly unhappy with the club's management's move which made them likely to go through the playoffs again.
The Lakers have not made a significant move in bringing in players to strengthen the squad. This is what irritated James.
On several occasions, he stated that he did not want to waste time in recent years in his career.
There are suggestions he could move next year to continue his career in top position if the Lakers miss the playoffs.
Here are the four teams that could be LeBron James' new port:
James could return to Cavaliers emotionally. This season's Cavaliers looks quite ambitious by bringing in Donovan Mitchell. Currently Cavaliers are in fourth place in the standings in Eastern Region.
Cavaliers have reportedly closed the door for James to return. However, the opportunity for the player to return to his hometown is now open again. Even Cavaliers are ready to pay the player's big salary.
James and Knick have often been linked. Not just once, but more than three times. One of them was in 2010 when the player was free agent.
Houston Rockets is at its lowest point now. The former Western region champions sit at the bottom of the entire NBA rankings with a record terrible of 10 wins and 25 defeats.
They are currently positioned to get one of the top options in next year's draft. In addition, Rockets also has a team of young prospects, and is positioned to add some bigger contracts next year.
If the Lakers were to enter reconditional mode, exchanging James for the top-choice opportunity could be a reasonable possibility.
The Chicago Bulls are on the verge of rebuilding and are almost pressing the reset button. There have been reports this season showing that they can swap Zach LeVine and DeMar DeRozan to the Lakers instead of Russell Westbrook.
Dengan mendapatkan James selama setahun dapat memberi mereka kesempatan bagus untuk bersaing selama satu tahun selama fase pembangunan kembali itu.
For James, moving to the Bulls will give him a chance to potentially strengthen his legacy, where Michael Jordan won six titles.
