The upcoming free agency plight of Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James is undoubtedly the biggest storyline of the summer of 2018. The Los Angeles Lakers have positioned themselves as a potential landing spot, clearing out two max salary slots.
The question is whether LeBron would choose to leave his hometown team for the second time. Cleveland certainly made some moves at the deadline in order to try and convince him to remain there.
If James does leave however, the Lakers and Houston Rockets are among the teams that will be fighting to land his services. A number of ESPN staff members recently asked 48 NBA players their thoughts on what LeBron might do this summer, and the Lakers came up plenty of times.
