Free agent forward LeBron James hasn't made a decision about where he'll play next season. We know it won't be with the Los Angeles Lakers. James' agent Rich Paul said 27 of the other 29 teams have reached out. Of those 27 teams, six believe they have a real shot at landing the NBA's all-time leading scorer for next season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors have been mentioned as landing spots for James, since before he announced he was moving on from the Lakers. The Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets all believe they are still in the running for the superstar forward's services for the 2026-27 season.

All six of those teams are likely offering James the opportunity to compete for a title, but he might have to play on a veteran minimum contract for next season. The Cavaliers and Warriors still have moves they can make to free up spending power to offer James a contract for greater than the minimum. The other four teams would have to do something unexpected.
