LeBron’s Future: James Might Not Sign for the Lakers Because of Kawhi Leonard

The upcoming summer could change the NBA landscape for the foreseeable future, as LeBron James is expected to opt out of the final year of his deal with Cleveland to explore his options. While the three-time NBA champ might still see out his contract with the Cavs, the possibility of him leaving Ohio for a second time is very concrete. The Los Angeles Lakers, the Philadelphia 76ers and even the Houston Rockets have all been tipped as potential destinations for LeBron, with the Lakers in particular thought to be favorite to land the four-time MVP.
