NEW YORK– The Cavaliers have just two regular season games left before playoffs begin. As the season draws to a close, the LeBron James free agency rumor mill is working in overdrive.
James, who is in the 15th year of his career, has a $35.6 million player’s option in his contract for the 2018-19 season. He is expected to decline that option to become a free agent, and speculation has run rampant for months about whether or not he will stay in Cleveland or head elsewhere.
In speaking with cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon, however, James offered a rare look into his thought process on his upcoming free agency decision.
