Windhorst Narrows LeBron James’ Free-Agency Options to Cavaliers, Warriors and Two Unknowns

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst now describes a four-team pool as realistic for LeBron’s next stop, with a Miami return viewed as unlikely.

Overview

  • LeBron James could reach free agency in 2026, leaving his future with the Los Angeles Lakers unresolved.
  • On The Rich Eisen Show, Brian Windhorst cited Cleveland and Golden State as viable destinations while saying two additional teams remain under watch but unnamed.
  • Windhorst indicated a Heat reunion does not currently rank among the likely scenarios.
  • Reporting suggests James may weigh comfort and a credible title shot over top-dollar offers, potentially for what could be a one-year finale.
  • Cleveland is framed as a plausible homecoming fit and Golden State as a conditional option tied to roster trajectory, including the long-discussed possibility of teaming with Stephen Curry.
