You know, there’s one sleeper team that nobody is talking about that I can see LeBron going to: the San Antonio Spurs.
If there’s one coach in the NBA that LeBron has the utmost respect and would absolutely be willi g to play for or listen carefully to, it’s Gregg Popovich. And come on, going from Tyronn Lue to Pop, LeBron doesn’t have to do half the cosching and he can just focus on playing. And they have a well established system that can get them gets production out of everyone. Depending on what the siuation is with Kawhi, the Spurs should look into the possibility lity of adding LeBron. With a player like him, working with Pop, and a supporting cast led by Aldridge, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobli who are always going to bring it. That could give the Warriors a very serious challenge.

Ddit: Plus, it would be immensely hilarious to see Skip Bayless having an identity crisis over the fact that the man he has made a lot of money bashing and criticizing unforgivingly suddenly playing for “his Spurs.”

The Spurs are really old though and I don't think Lebron can mask for their problems of athleticism and lack thereof. I'm not a huge Lebron fan so I could care less if he succeeds, but I cant see how a move would benefit him when the Spurs promote team ball and Lebron wants it to be all about him.

If you ask me, the 3 places I'd like to see Lebron go, it would be...

1. New Orleans- to me it's the best fit. He'd probably be tarnishing his overall legacy a bit by teaming up with two Hall of Famers in Davis and Boogie, but this IMO is his best shot out west to make the Finals.

2. Portland-they have salary cap hell, but I could see a sign and trade where they send McCollum and a few others to the Cavs for Lebron. Him teaming up with Lillard is a question mark because Lebron has never played with a player of Lillard's quality, but it's best for his legacy and he'd have a solid bench around him.

3. Denver-this has absolutely no chance in hell happening, but I'd like to imagine Lebron with Jokic, Milsap, Harris, and Murray. That starting 5 could contend with anyone and Lebron is most likely the best man on his team.

Also, if Lebron joins Philly or Houston, that's a KD caliber move and I'd lose a bit more respect of the man.
