Despite questions about LeBron James' future with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he remains "deeply committed" to the franchise and doesn't know what he will do after the season, according to Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com.
LeBron James is "deeply committed" to the Cavaliers and has been "helpful" in their pursuit of free agents, team owner Dan Gilbert and new general manager Koby Altman said Wednesday.
James, according to reports by cleveland.com and other outlets, has been frustrated with the departure of former GM David Griffin and, until the signing of Derrick Rose, the team's tepid activity in free agency.
James can also be a free agent next summer, should he opt out of his contract. Sources close to James say he does not know what he will do after this season.
"LeBron remains deeply committed to this organization," Altman said. "He remains deeply committed to this team and deeply committed to this city. He has deep roots to this city. And it means a lot to him to be here and compete for championships for years to come. That's his goal, and so we have shared goals."
It's reportedly the "worst kept secret" in the NBA that he plans to join the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018. James already owns a home in Los Angeles, which is where he trains in the offseason, and his kids have also been enrolled in school there.

However, Vardon indicates that LeBron hasn't even made up his mind about staying or leaving, let alone what team he would want to leave for.
The Los Angeles Clippers and the Philadelphia 76ers also have plans to pursue James if he becomes an unrestricted free agent next summer.
LeBron averaged 26.4 points, 8.7 assists and 8.6 rebounds per game this past season.
