LeBron James’ decision to choose his next destination after saying goodbye to the Lakers is getting social media going.
The latest speculation is that James could end up signing with one of the following teams for his 24th NBA season: Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers.
The latter has grabbed headlines, with potential leads being dropped by King James’ agent Rich Paul and senior NBA insider Shams Charania.
Charania in her latest appearance on the podcast show Straight shooterhost Stephen A. Smith claimed that King James is taking the 76ers “very seriously” as a potential landing spot.
But now a recent statement from Eagles star Saquon Barkley has again fueled speculation: whether James might have made up his mind. Where would he land next?
During a football camp at Haddonfield High School in New Jersey, Barkley responded when asked about his offer to LeBron to join the 76ers.
“I think it’s one of the greatest sports cities in the world,” Barkley replied.
“I know Josh Hart said the opposite. I saw it today on Twitter, but I have to disagree with him.
“If you want to go out with a bang, I feel like a great place would be in Philly, and to bring a championship to Philadelphia, you would be remembered forever,” Barkley added.
The former New York Giants icon signed with the Eagles in 2024 and led them to the Super Bowl with a 2,005-yard season that ended with the franchise’s second Super Bowl title.
The 41-year-old King James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, has won four career championships: two with the Miami Heat, one with the Cavaliers and one with the LA Lakers.
