LeBron James returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers and spending the final seasons of his legendary career with the team that drafted him is shifting from a nice dream to a legitimate possibility. That is what those speaking to ESPN thought, at the least.
The major sports outlet conducted their annual survey of 20 coaches, scouts, and executives. They covered a large variety of topics, including where LeBron will be at the start of the 2026-27 season. The voting was fairly split.
Continuing his career with the Los Angeles Lakers was still the outcome most were predicting, with seven votes going towards that choice.
