The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James are quite possibly heading into the final year of what has been a successful, if not slightly underwhelming seven-year partnership to this point. L.A. and James have earned two trips to the Western Conference Finals and one NBA championship together.

The San Antonio Spurs should be a darkhorse destination for LeBron. While the Spurs lack the glitz and glamor of big markets like New York and Los Angeles, they do boast an interesting roster brimming with promising talent — punctuated by generational big man Victor Wembanyama.

With the Los Angeles Lakers reorienting their plans around Luka Dončić and 2027 cap space, LeBron James finds himself in uncharted waters. For the first time in his career, he's not the focal point of his franchise.
