#2 Bill Simmons writer for NBA Central on X said that LeBron is certainly going to Cleveland.

#3 The Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Miami Heat are the top teams on LeBron’s list. The biggest team of discussion were the Cavaliers because it’s a homecoming and he has a good working relationship with Cavaliers assistant general manager Brandon Weems.

#4 Charles Barkely said that if LeBron were to choose Golden State or Philadelphia he would be ring chasing but going to Cleveland would be a natural for him that’s where it all started and that’s where it should all end.

#5 Wanted to ask you something about something that Giannis Antetokounmpo said after being traded to the Miami Heat about the city of Milwaukee, that Milwaukee will always be his city, it was the place that made him a man, and that he will always honor Milwaukee how tough was it for Antetokounmpo to leave Milwaukee?

NBA podcast Michael Roberson:

#1 LeBron James who is looking for greener pastures after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers was given a warm farewell by Lakers governor Jeanie Buss. Where will LeBron go he was rumored that he could go to Golden State.

#2 For years Anthony Davis (who is now a Washington Wizard) and LeBron were asking ownership at the Lakers to bring in a center. So as soon as LeBron left the Lakers the Lakers signed Walker Kessler for four years $130 million which works out to be $32.5 million a season. To get Kessler the Lakers had to trade their 2031 and 2033 unprotected first round picks. Also pick swaps for 2028 and 2030 to the Utah Jazz.

#3 The Philadelphia 76ers just couldn’t wait after getting superstar Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics the Sixers are now making a pitch for LeBron. How do you see LeBron being a factor with the Sixers if that were to happen?

#4 LeBron is 41 years old and some would say at the twilight of his career. Do you see LeBron going back to the Cleveland Cavaliers and ending his career

#5 Did the Warriors Draymond Green opt out of his $27 million contract so he make cap room in the event that LeBron wanted to come to Golden State as the Warriors is the most likely place that Green will retire so he’s not exploring free agency to join another team.
