The end of LeBron James' illustrious NBA career is near. Where he spends it is the question.
James, 41, is hitting unrestricted free agency ahead of his 24th season. The Los Angeles Lakers are favored to keep him the four-time MVP in town, but it's no guarantee as the fit with Luka Dončić hasn't always been seamless.
So, where could James land if not L.A.? How about the city where he won his first NBA title: Miami.
The Miami Heat just acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo in a blockbuster trade with the Milwaukee Bucks, pairing him with Bam Adebayo to form one of the league's most fearsome frontcourts.
James' size, ball-handling and play-making would make the Heat significantly more dangerous. Let's get into whether a reunion is realistic.
The Heat have a $15.5 million midlevel exception if Norman Powell or Andrew Wiggins depart. That could theoretically go toward James, who won two of his four MVPs in South Florida. However, the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports James returning to Miami is a "long shot." Here's who Miami could target instead.
