Ever since the NBA season ended, the most talked about subject in the league is what’s next for LeBron James. James is expected to opt out of his contract and become a free agent very shortly.
Where James will play next season is pretty much a mystery at this time, but you get the sense that certain teams have the edge over others. According to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, there are seven teams in the mix: Cavs, Warriors, 76ers, Celtics, Rockets, Lakers, and Heat, but we won’t know until James starts meeting with teams.
One team that is on Stephen A.’s list is the Boston Celtics, which could make for an unusual situation. If James were to go to Boston, he would be reunited with Kyrie Irving. As we all know, Irving, who was traded from the Cavs to the Celtics, wanted to leave to get out from underneath the shadow of James. So, if LeBron went to Boston, what happens to Kyrie?
Former Celtics star Antoine Walker thinks if Boston has a chance to get LeBron they must choose him over Irving.
“If I got a chance to get LeBron James, Kyrie gotta go,” Walker said on the SouthSide Heat podcast.
