According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, the odds of Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James heading to the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency are described as “a long shot” by league sources.
League sources believe it’s “still a long shot” James chooses the Lakers this summer, but that’s mostly because he’s determined to stay focused on winning a title with the Cavaliers this season.
The Lakers have long been regarded as a potential free agent destination for James because of their ability to sign two superstar free agents to maximum contracts in the offseason and James’ affinity for both the franchise and team president Magic Johnson.
