MIAMI (AP) — All eyes in the NBA are on LeBron James, even amid a huge cycle of changes around the league.Giannis Antetokounmpo got traded to Miami for Tyler Herro. Jaylen Brown got traded to Philadelphia for Paul George. Kawhi Leonard got traded back to Toronto, Ja Morant got traded to Portland, LaMelo Ball got traded to Minnesota and Dusty May left NCAA champion Michigan to coach Dallas.There have been some huge moves in the NBA in the past few days. But everybody, it seems, is waiting for James — again.“He’s still the face of the league,” James’ agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul said.If there was any question about whether the league’s oldest active player and NBA’s all-time points leader still moves the needle, that’s been answered.Soccer’s World Cup is going on, the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden — the home of the NBA champion New York Knicks — is commanding global attention, it’s a holiday weekend in the U.S., and yet there’s still all sorts of intrigue surrounding where James will decide to play next season.
This much is certain: James, who turns 42 in December, will play a 24th season and it won’t be for the Los Angeles Lakers.
