James Harden wants LeBron James to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Harden thinks LeBron ending his career with the Cavaliers would be a "storybook finish."
Harden and James are free agents. The Beard is expected to re-sign with the Cavaliers once The King picks his next team.
LeBron, 41, is expected to sign with the Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat or Golden State Warriors.
Many people believe LeBron will sign with the Cavaliers. Cleveland assistant general manager Brandon Weems was with LeBron in Ohio a few weekends ago.
Weems is one of LeBron's closest friends.
"Let me talk to you about Brandon Weems," LeBron's agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group, said on his podcast. "Brandon Weems is basically LeBron's brother. Now, he worked his own way [up], nobody gave him anything. He's earned to be in the front office of the Cavs. But that is a big feather in the cap [for Cleveland], because of Brandon Weems."
LeBron, as everyone knows, is the greatest player in Cleveland franchise history. In two stints (2003-10, 2014-18) with the Cavaliers, LeBron averaged 27.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. He won two MVPs and one Finals MVP and made 10 All-Star and 10 All-NBA teams.
For the Los Angeles Lakers last season, LeBron averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. He's still an elite offensive player despite being the oldest active player in the NBA.
It would certainly be cool to see LeBron end his career in Cleveland. A starting lineup of Harden, Donovan Mitchell, LeBron, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen could compete for the championship next season.
The Cavaliers made the conference finals last season, losing to the New York Knicks in four quick games. Adding LeBron could make Cleveland title favorites next season.
Harden averaged 20.5 points and 7.7 assists per game for the Cavaliers in the regular season and 19.2 points and 5.5 assists per game in the playoffs. The future Hall of Famer still hasn't won a championship.
If Harden signs for $30 million and if Cleveland can deal Max Strus and take back no salary in return, the Cavaliers would be able to give LeBron the mid-level exception.
