Where will LeBron end his career?

GhostOfPoverty · Sep 20, 2018

LeBron is now age 33, with 15 seasons under his belt. 11 years in Cleveland, 4 in Miami, and signed for 4 years in L.A. So he'd be 37 with 19 seasons if he finishes out the L.A. deal. Where does he wrap up his career?

I could see him finishing it in Cleveland with #1 overall pick LeBron James Jr. playing point guard...lol......

ehhhh who knows- your guess is as good as mine---- it just depends--- if Brandon Ingram turns into Kevin Durant and Lonzo Ball turns into Jason Kidd --hold on wait a minute (ahahahahahah)-- sorry bout that-- back--- he probably stays there forever....

If 4 years from now guys like Porzingis, Knox and maybe the #1 overall pick are ready to dominate and are in their primes maybe NY.

Who really knows- it likely depends on how long he wants to play--- if he wants to play till he is 40 and do 6-7 more years its really anyones guess.

Wherever his kid gets drafted.

Lakers most likely. The 4 year deal showed he's committed long term. By the end of it, all his Hollywood ventures will be fully functional. That'll keep him busy and it will be easier to just re-up with the Lakers to stay close by.

Just a rumor (may or may not be credible lol)...That Durant is looking to join LeBron next season and that LeBron plans to groom him as the face of the Lakers.

Rumor: Kevin Durant 'planning' a move to join LeBron James

If this somehow happens and assuming his body holds up with age, I could definitely see him returning to Cleveland in his late 30's after his oldest son graduates...

You're actually buying into this Knicks propaganda??? :scratch:

I'm not.

I would love to see him finish in Cleveland with his son as a rookie

flyerhawk · Sep 21, 2018

He's staying in LA for the rest of his career. However long that may be.

I posted that in the NBA offseason thread.

im not but it was more to illustrate the "who knows".....

It all depends on how things go both with the Lakers and his health.

His age and the length of his contract would both indicate that he'll retire as a Laker.

If the Lakers contend/win a title or 2, I think that will pretty much cement him retiring from the Lakers.

However, if things don't work out, the kids don't develop, they don't land another top guy, then I think he'll join a contender to try for 1 last title.

I also wouldn't rule out one last season in Cleveland, especially if the Cavs are good. I'm sure he's going into the HOF as a Cav, so he may want to officially retire as a Cav.

I think it's credible that Lebron is very likely recruiting KD. Heck, we know he already tried once.

But I seriously doubt KD has any actual plan yet.

Congrats on the Browns getting a win. Hopefully they can get some momentum. Always had a soft spot for the Browns. I loved those Brian Sipe Cardiac Kids teams.

I also didn't even hold it against them when I had to eat a bunch of crow because of teasing my Mom and her best friend (who were huge Broncos fans) when The Drive and The Fumble happened. lol

Barring anything like a significant injury that forces him to retire, I think he'll go back to Cleveland for one last season. Its like a book, it'll have a beginning, middle and end chapters. I think he'll want to retire with the Cavs, but I'm not even entirely sure he'll play a full season. Who knows what sort of projects and media he'll have going on after 4 years in LA. Shit in just a few months he's got a movie, two tv shows pilots green-lit, his barber shop show on HBO, he's got that other show on Starz. Dude is all over it and just gonna get bigger, IMO.

tducey · Sep 21, 2018

The Cavs for 1 last season.

Rockinkuwait · Sep 24, 2018

Depends.

At 38 (or 37 if NBA ends 1 and done), his son may be getting drafted. If that happens I could see him doing a farewell season or two there.

Where will LeBron end his career?

Which team will LeBron end his career with?

L.A. Lakers at the conclusion of his current contract

L.A. Lakers after a contract extension

Cleveland for a farewell season or two

Other team for one last title run
