LeBron James has made a decision to bring his talents to Los Angeles. After much speculation over the past year, James is leaving the Cavaliers once again to sign a free agent deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. The announcement was made by Klutch Sports, his sports agency, on Sunday.
It has been long rumored that James would be heading to the Lakers as a free agent. With several homes in Los Angeles, where he spends most of his offseasons, James has expressed his desire to be closer to his family with this free agency move.
Addressing questions about his future during the NBA Finals after the Cavs’ loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 4, James emphasized the importance of his family in his career decisions. He mentioned the ages of his children and how they factor into his choices.
Having now finalized his departure from Cleveland, the team bids farewell to their all-time leader in various statistical categories, such as rebounds, steals, assists, points, minutes, and games played. James was initially drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2003 and led the team to four consecutive NBA Finals appearances.
James notably secured a victory over the Warriors in 2016, claiming the NBA Finals MVP title as the Cavaliers clinched their first major championship in franchise history.
