Brian Windhorst: 'Everything Is on the Table' with LeBron James in Free Agency
ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst said Friday "everything is on the table" with Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James, who owns a player option in his contract and can become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason after the Cavs' clash with the Golden State Warriors in the 2018 NBA Finals.
"There is no scenario that he will not do. There is no pathway he will not check out," Windhorst said on The Jump. "He believes at this point in his career he has got a blank check. That everything he's accomplished, his legacy his secure. If he wants to do something radical, he'll do it. If he wants to play it safe, stay [in Cleveland], he'll do it. And frankly he doesn't care what any of us think about it."
The rumors about James' future is going to run rampant in the coming months.
On Thursday, Chris Bosh predicted onย The Herd with Colin Cowherdย his former Miami Heat teammate would leave Cleveland to form another superteam alongside Chris Paul and James Harden on the Houston Rockets:
Marc Steinย of theย New York Timesย reported earlier Friday that James' main focus is "chasing championships," which likely means leaving the Cavaliers. Stein noted family pressure to stay in Cleveland is the one thing that could change his thinking.
The Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics are among the numerous teams already with speculated interest in the James sweepstakes.
Concrete information has been hard to come by, though.
The four-time NBA MVP cautioned against believing anything reported throughout anonymous sources back in February.
"If you don't hear something coming from my voice, then it's not true," Jamesย told reporters, before doubling down on that stance: "If it's not from me, it's not true."
For now, James is focused on trying to dig the Cavs out of a 3-0 hole against the Warriors, who are one victory away from their second consecutive championship. Game 4 is scheduled for Friday night in Cleveland.
