NBA Rumors: Betting Favourite For LeBron James' Potential Next Team Revealed

 

After a fantastic run through the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers were thoroughly beaten in a four-game sweep by the Denver Nuggets, and now, the future of their biggest star is up in the air, as LeBron James revealed that retirement was a consideration this off-season.

If he doesn't opt for that however, betting favourites have now been revealed on his next team, and unsurprisingly, Vegas believe that James could head to the New York Knicks this off-season, and while there's very little evidence to support this, it's noteworthy nonetheless.

In previous years, every star that becomes available has been linked to the Knicks, but now this is a team with a star in Jalen Brunson, and All-NBA player in Julius Randle and a solid young core, so if he were to remain in the NBA and look to move teams, it would be a solid fit.
