The Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics matchup saw Donovan Mitchell sidelined. Leading the second-round playoffs, the Celtics look poised to get their crucial advantage to advance to the next round. While Mitch’s absence might be a tough pill to swallow, the Cavaliers fans are in a frenzy at seeing the ‘kid from Akron’ sitting courtside. Yup, LeBron James was present to watch a Cleveland game with his beloved wife, Savannah James.

Of course, there is no doubt that this is going to spark trade rumors, but we’ll tackle that when it gets there. Right now, fans tuning into Game 4 have a request to the King. A general outcry of “suit up!” is widespread in the comment section.

Another Cavs follower commented, “Get out there and help them bron.” It resonated subtly with more straightforward comments about how weird it is to see LeBron sitting courtside, as he’s still an active player.

Another individual said, “Low key lebron is the exact time [type] of player they’re missing.” Aside from the subtle hint of wanting him back at the franchise, this fan was also referring to the lack of a big stretch four. Given how the 4x champion is one of the most successful stretch fours, this fan seems to be a loyal student of the Cavs.

While his son Bronny suffered his NIL value fall to $3.7 million, he was visibly smashing it in the Draft Combine with a 40.5-inch vertical jump. A fan wrote, “Bro scouting potential Bronny teams”. In the end, one of the fanatics acknowledged the elephant in the room, commenting, “I seen enough Lebron back to Cleveland”.

It was clear that Cleveland would welcome the ‘Akron Hammer’ with open arms as was evident from the tribute tonight. Having said that, various factors can affect his decision, can’t they?

Is LeBron James’ future tied with Bronny’s? What are his options?

The most talked about feature affecting Bron’s trade destination has been Bronny’s draft. Although his close friend and agent, Rich Paul, recently said it wasn’t the primary driving force, every King James fan knows it is bound to have an effect. Supposing it doesn’t, given how James Jr. had a lackluster season, he could end up playing in the G League and then the matter of the 20x All-Star’s future is still questionable.

The Los Angeles Lakers are, of course, at the top of the list. With or without Bronny, they want their franchise to stay back. Towards the end of the season, LeBron had teased many with his cryptic New York tweets. The Knicks could very well be a potential destination. They have emerged as major contenders despite not initially being thought of as such.

With Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo running the show, James could provide essential veteran help. Not to mention, in their absence, take point just as easily. We all saw how the 39-year-old is playing in his 21st season. And then there is the Miami Heat. Much like Cleveland, the ‘L Train’ has a history there.

Two of Bron’s four rings were at the Heat. In a way, No. 23 really took flight from Miami. Not to mention, the 4x MVP is looking to add a fifth ring to his resume. And the Knicks, Cavaliers, and Heat are all better situated to get one than the Lakers.

LeBron James made it clear that he wasn’t planning on announcing his decision soon. Until then, all we can do is speculate on what may happen.
