LeBron James On His Next Big Decision: ‘I Have No Idea’

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ season came to an unceremonious end on Friday night when they got ran off of their home floor by the Golden State Warriors. The series ended in a sweep, and now, all eyes are on whatever LeBron James is going to do next. The Cavalier star can opt into the final year of his contract, or he can hit the open market as a free agent.

It’s a fascinating situation, because obviously, James is the kind of player who can impact the championship hopes of multiple teams by going somewhere. One thing is for sure, though: In the immediate aftermath of Friday’s loss, James doesn’t seem like he knows what his next move is.

James spoke to the media and after addressing the broken hand he suffered for punching a board after Game 1, he dove into his upcoming decision.

“I have no idea at this point,” James said when asked if he feels like he’s played his last game for the Cavaliers. “The one thing that I’ve always done is consider, obviously, my family, understanding especially where my boys are at this point in their age, they were a lot younger the last time I made a decision like this four years ago. I’ve got a teenage boy, a pre-teen, and a little girl right now that wasn’t around as well. Sitting down and considering everything, but my family is a huge part of whatever I’ve decide to do in my career and they continue to be that.”

James did, however, give two answers that gave a glimpse into what he’s thinking. One was about his priorities as a basketball player, another was about whether this is the toughest decision he’s ever had to make about his future.

At this point, all we can really do with regards to James future is sit back and wait, because while he knows what he wants in a team, he legitimately seems like he has no idea which team will check all (or most) of the boxes. Needless to say, the next few weeks are going to be really fun to watch.
