LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are getting ready for the NBA Finals, but it's never too early to start talking about James future, which will be determined in just over a month. He could end up staying with the Cavaliers, but any place he'd like to go if he leaves would gladly accept him.
BetOnline has started taking bets on where James will end up, and the Philadelphia 76ers are the betting favorite at +150. The Cavaliers are at a close second coming in at +175, which has significantly increased from the +300, it just was a few weeks ago. The rest of the list is rounded out by:
Houston Rockets +250
Los Angeles Lakers +550
Golden State Warriors +1600
Miami Heat +1600
Los Angeles Clippers +2500




With the young talent the 76ers do make a lot of sense, but with James making it back to the NBA Finals with the Cavaliers, is he really going to want to leave again?
Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert said after Game 7 that he wasn't even thinking about where James is going and would think about that once the season is over.
“Like him, I think he's said this, we're just focused — and it's the truth, it's not avoiding the question — we're literally focused on (the now),” Gilbert told ESPN. “It's just so intense in the playoffs and getting to the Finals and now the Finals, I don't think — and I know he doesn't — I don't think even our guys are talking (about anything other than) what's in front of them.
“So, everybody knows, obviously what we want to happen and we'll take the Finals first and take it from there.”
