LeBron rumored to potentially join Lakers or Clippers once he's a free agent.

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are on the cusp of being swept in the NBA Finals by the Golden State Warriors. To make matters worse, a new report suggests LeBron James may consider leaving "The Land" in favor of one of the Los Angeles teams.

The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor referenced an article written by Adrian Wojnarowski last year in which he revealed the league-wide belief that LeBron may not stay in Cleveland for the rest of his career.

According to Spotrac, after next season, LeBron has a $35.6 million player option to remain with Cleveland in 2018-19.

Additionally, O'Connor brought up Jalen Rose's comments on ESPN's First Take this week, saying that he thinks LeBron will ultimately end up in LA, playing for either the Lakers or Clippers, since he lives close to the Staples Center.
