Cavaliers Named New Favorites to Land LeBron James After Mavericks Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After picking up his $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season, LeBron James is once again entering a contract year with the Los Angeles Lakers.

LeBron James has made life easy for a lot of his teammates, but this former Cleveland Cavaliers player doesn't think it's for everyone in the NBA.

LeBron James can always come home, and we will always comp his meals upon his visit. When James broke the city’s 52-year championship curse in 2016, he stamped himself a local legend. He deserves all the accompanying perks.

An Eastern Conference contender has been named as one of the favorites to acquire LeBron James from the Los Angeles Lakers this summer.

James was also in Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League where he had an adorable moment with his 10-year-old daughter Zhuri who showed off her dribbling skills, and then he embraced San Antonio Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama, who made James look tiny.
