NBA icon LeBron James is currently the center of attention in the NBA World, as the free agent observed multiple huge trades and signings during the start of free agency while keeping his options open.
The only thing certain at this point is that James will not return to the Los Angeles Lakers and is ready to start a new chapter in his career. The Fourth of July is a day of rest and reflection for many, and James recently revealed his plans.
LeBron James Goes Golfing On Fourth Of July While Exploring Free Agency Options

ESPN Cleveland posted James on their social media account, saying “LeBron James wishes everyone a Happy 4th from the golf course.” James said HAPPY 4TH you animals in his message, along with a selfie.
James’ agent, Rich Paul, revealed the current state of his free agent market, with 10 teams contacting Paul to express interest in signing James. Paul said that James’ main priority during free agency is finding a suitor that he’s genuinely excited to play for.

However, with the Washington Wizards declining to make Davis available, it remains to be seen whether the Warriors have an alternative plan for James. The Warriors’ forced temporary regrouping has opened the door for another team to take over the rumors.

Paul mentioned James is highly intrigued by the possibility of joining the 76ers and playing with Maxey, whom he’s worked out with during the offseason. It’s clear James still has many variables to evaluate before making a decision. However, his immediate attention appears to be on making some putts on the golf course.
