The offseason is right around the corner. Two of the biggest names in basketball today, LeBron James and Paul George, are expected to change jerseys yet again. According to the latest rumor, the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar and the Oklahoma City Thunder star might even join forces.
As reported by Lakers Outsiders, according to ESPN analyst Adrian Wojnarowski, James and George are expected to have a little chat this upcoming summer about their big decision. Below is the video of Woj talking about the possibility of the two superstars teaming up.

George is coming off a disappointing first season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Last summer, it seemed like a Big 3 was made after he, Carmelo Anthony, and Russell Westbrook stepped onto the same court donning the same jerseys. Yet as bad luck would have it, the three didn't possess chemistry at all.
James, meanwhile, has always been pressured to win it all. Many believe that if he doesn't win it this year, James will leave the Cavaliers for the second and final time in his career.
For the two, all roads lead to the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only do they have enough cap space to accommodate both, but the Lakers also have a pretty good core of young players led by Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, and Brandon Ingram.
Will George and James actually sit down to talk about their future in L.A.? Or will it be just another rumor put to rest? It's still a matter of wait-and-see at this point. The news will unfold sooner than expected. Summer is just around the corner.
