A former champion believes LeBron James returning to the Lakers is what's best for him originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
LeBron James has not yet decided on his NBA future after his contract expired with the Los Angeles Lakers. At 41, many people think that James is at the tail end of his career. That is true, and LeBron knows it, so he is taking his time to make his decision.
Of course, it is on the Lakers to make an offer, but that has not come just yet. As the calendar moves to July, free agency will be the talk of the town, and the Lakers will need to make some moves. Re-signing James could be a big part of those plans.
One of the most popular ideas that people are throwing out there is for LeBron to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. It is his hometown team that he played for twice in his career, leading them to a championship in 2016.
One of his former teammates during that 2016 run was Channing Frye, who has been quite vocal in convincing Bron to stay with the Lakers rather than returning to the Cavaliers, who just can't get over the hump.
