The Los Angeles Lakers are having a disappointing season, to say the least. And LeBron James is definitely not happy with the performance of his teammates and his team.
With the trade deadline coming up, rumors are flying all around. LeBron’s return to the Cleveland Cavaliers is something that has been speculated for a long time. With James becoming a free agent in 2023, we can see LeBron back to Cleveland for one last time.
Fans have already started to speculate about the return of James, with many comparing his longevity to that of NFL superstar Tom Brady.

LeBron James to Cleveland?
Fans on Reddit have lost their cool after an interesting observation by a user. LeBron’s current contract with the Los Angeles Lakers ends in 2023, and guess what, Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love’s contract ends in 2023 too.
With Love’s departure leaving room in the salary cap, Cleveland will be well-positioned to bring back the franchise’s poster boy. With him still being in top shape, entering his 21st season will not be a problem.
Whether LeBron will be back with the Cavs is yet to be known, but that is something LeBron will certainly look forward to.
James and his relationship with the Cavs
The Cleveland Cavaliers were the team who signed college sensation LeBron all the way back in 2003. He was the number 1 overall pick and went on to play for the Cavs till 2010.

In 2010, James took the big step of taking his talents to Miami. He joined the Miami Heat in controversial fashion, a move which formed the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.
James averages 27.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds in 11 seasons with Cleveland.
Fans react to the speculation
NBA fans on Reddit have lost their cool after this interesting revelation. Talking about LeBron’s longevity, one user had a very interesting analogy.
With both Tom Brady and LeBron James playing for long periods, this comparison certainly holds true.
Will we see a LeBron and Bronny matchup in the future? James has already told about his dream of playing with his son, so this can certainly be a possibility.
