Wemby and LeBron? 3 Crazy Possible Landing Spots for LeBron James

· Yahoo Sports

LeBron James has all the leverage this offseason, officially an unrestricted free agent.

If he wants to retire, he can. If he doesn’t want to take a pay cut for the Los Angeles Lakers or Cleveland Cavaliers, as recently reported, then he could take a heavy pay cut to sign with a team that he believes has a better chance of either of those teams helping him win his fifth ring.

Here are three wild candidates that might break the internet if James signed with them this summer.

San Antonio Spurs

Why not? It would almost feel like a perfect bookend to his career if it weren’t with the Cavaliers. The Spurs were the team to first face and beat James in the NBA Finals, and they’d continue to be a thorn in his side throughout his career.

James would be the perfect veteran presence to help the Spurs get over the hump with a young core, and he’d fit perfectly alongside Victor Wembanyama and the slew of guards San Antonio possesses.

Washington Wizards

Michael Jordan did it, why not James? One of his closest friends in the sport, Anthony Davis, is on the roster, and they, like San Antonio, will have a bunch of young talent that could learn from James.

While it might not give him a better chance at a ring, who better for an AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson with the first pick to learn from other than the greatest No. 1 pick in NBA Draft history?

Oklahoma City Thunder

Alright, this isn’t going to happen.

But…what if?

What if the Thunder win back-to-back titles, clear enough space this offseason, and James takes the minimum to almost guarantee himself a fifth championship?

Would he instantly become a bigger villain than when he joined the Miami Heat or when Kevin Durant joined the Golden State Warriors?

Would LeBron James fans turn against their king, or would they change their tune on the Thunder, cheering for a three-peat so that James can go out on top?

It’s not going to happen.

It’s definitely not going to happen.

Right?
