Former NBA Player Predicts LeBron James Will Leave Lakers for Cavaliers
In this story:
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made headlines over the weekend when addressing his eventual retirement. Saying he is unsure how he plans to go about his final season, and whether or not he will accept a farewell tour, James sparked debates about where and how he will approach the end of his career.
Reiterating he is happy with the Lakers, James has given no indication that he is looking elsewhere, but some feel a return to Cleveland is inevitable. Speaking on FanDuel's Run it Back show, former Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons predicted a reunion between James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, even if just for one season before he retires.
"I think of LeBron James as a Cleveland Cavalier," Parsons said. "I think it's where you start - You sign the one-day thing, or I think for him it's one season... I think it's where it starts, and especially where you kind of create your foundation as a player. To me, obviously it's the Cleveland Cavaliers. I think he's gonna own the team... and kind of buy the team [after retiring]."
Former NBA player Lou Williams agreed with Parsons, saying he believes James will join the Cavaliers again, to which Parsons responded, "That's what I mean."
Believing that James will ultimately leave the Lakers for Cleveland, even if it's just one season, Parsons and Williams see him retiring with the Cavaliers.
