Look, where does LeBron go?
Everybody wants to know where LeBron goes.
I think LeBron already knows where he's going.
I think they've all known.
I know that the Heat, oops, we posted a link to a live feed for his press conference, but
he's coming to the East.
I don't think for a minute he's going to Golden State or anywhere.
I think he'd be out of his mind.
I don't think he's a great fit for Cleveland because I don't think he can play with Donovan
Mitchell.
I don't think he wants to play with hard.
I think Miami is the right fit for him because he's not going to have to play every night
and they've got enough other pieces going on there.
It feels like Miami is the right place, but does that mean in your opinion, that's where
he's going to land?
I think the funniest visual for me is LeBron James playing alongside James Harden.
I think there's nothing funnier than that.
I think if James Harden wasn't on the Cleveland Cavaliers, I think there'd be a real good
chance that he'd go back there, but I don't think these guys get along.
I haven't seen, they've been in the league for how many years together?
I haven't seen much of them, even with the Olympic team and the clips of that, whenever
James Harden is with LeBron doing all-star activities.
That being said, Anthony Edwards was LeBron's number one pick in the all-star game.
He got me excited.
I thought there was a chance he might do the Minnesota thing.
The problem with that is if you don't win it in Minnesota, it was a huge swing and a
miss and you just added another losing franchise to your jersey collection.
If I was LeBron, I'd go back to Miami.
I think it's the best fit for his lifestyle, for what he's trying to do.
I think he wants to win a fifth ring, but he also knows if he just joins some team and
that's why the Spurs and the Thunder and the Knicks got ruled out so quickly, a team
that's already there, that it would kind of destroy his legacy anyways.
LeBron's a guy that he's got to go somewhere and he's got to make a team get over the hump.
That's why I think Minnesota would have been the most fun.
That being said, I still do think he goes to Cleveland or Miami.
If it wasn't for James Harden, it would be Cleveland for sure.
It makes the most sense to retire where he started.
So it was funny too, because I think Miami makes the most sense from a fit perspective
with Giannis and company, but your Minnesota Timberwolves, my man,
they're going to be a new look team.
Are they not?
I mean, there's, it says some, shed some of that salary, get rid of some of the dead weight.
It's still Anthony Edwards world.
Everyone else is living in it.
