LeBron’s next destination mapped: Rich Paul reveals free-agent finalists on whiteboard
Rich Paul revealed on the Game Over podcast a whiteboard mapping LeBron James’ realistic 2026‑27 options, centered on Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Denver Nuggets, with Golden State in the corner and additional contingents like the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, and New York Knicks also on the board. Paul says he’s heard from nearly every team, and happiness rather than money will guide LeBron’s choice, making multiple teams plausible contenders for his fifth championship.
