LeBron James is considering several teams for the 2026-27 season, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and Denver Nuggets. His agent, Rich Paul, revealed the list of potential teams on his podcast.
Potential Lineups
Each team has a unique lineup that could potentially include James. The 76ers could have James playing alongside Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, and Joel Embiid. The Heat could have James starting with Davion Mitchell, Andrew Wiggins, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Bam Adebayo.
The Cavaliers, James’ former team, could also be a potential destination. The team’s lineup could include Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. The Nuggets, with Jamal Murray, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic, are also in the running.
Decision Factors
James has indicated that happiness, not money, will be the driving factor in his decision. This could give several teams a realistic shot at signing him, even if they don’t have cap space.
