Former LeBron James teammate breaks down NBA star's free-agent options, warns him about Cavs return

The sports world awaits LeBron James’ decision as to where he will sign during the NBA offseason.

If the rumor mill is correct, James is deciding among the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers. He spent the last eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers, bringing the team a championship during the coronavirus pandemic-affected season.

Iman Shumpert, one of James’ teammates with the Cavaliers, gave his take on where he should sign.

"If this is about a ring, go to Philly," he said on the "Shump Street" podcast. "If this is about selling tickets Miami. If this about ending your career the way it should go, go to Cleveland. Just don’t go to Cleveland trying to be happy about a win because you not going to win there. You’re not going to be happy. This is about the return tour. This is not about winning. Don’t you dare go over there thinking it’s rolling with the winners.

"I don’t know what’s up with them during the playoffs, don’t do it. I’ve been on a team with LeBron when he was frustrated and he felt like he got too much going on. He going to start shipping s--- out of there, man. LeBron works for UPS, I’m telling y’all."

It’s unclear when James will make his decision. It’s also unclear what James is truly looking for in a team and how long he will play for that organization.

He’s proven he could still play at a high level. But by the end of the year, he will be turning 42 and the longevity he’s used to having on the court may deteriorate at any moment.

Last season, James gave the Lakers 60 games. He averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. He ended up leaving Los Angeles in the offseason.
