What factors will go into the "Decision III"?



The Cleveland Cavaliers now they have to look forward to a possible "Decision II". LeBron James will probably take as much time as possible to make a decision on who to suit up for next season.


LeBron James will have a lot of factors as to where he will end up this offseason, he has to think about salary, talent and marketability. It will be tough to fill all three but he is the best in the world so I think he can make it happen.

Let's look at the first of the three as one of the most important factors will be his contract numbers. If he stays in Cleveland it's the only way he can get a "SuperMax" which will be around $35-$40 million a year and only about 2-3 teams can handle that that type of deal. The Sixers could handle it after they get Reddick's contract off the books. Los Angeles has to get Luol Deng shipped out and may be trade Julius Randle or Brandon Ingram. Miami president Pat Riley still has not closed the door on a return to South Beach, so him making cap room to accommodate a return is probably underway.


LeBron James has needed a roster around him that fits his talents. He needs a wingman on the perimeter, a dominant big man that can rebound and protect the rim. LeBron always made sure he had a deep bench to keep the team in the mix while he was resting or if he needed them in clutch situations to make key shots while he's having an off night. If any GM can get him a roster close to his Heat roster from 4 seasons ago, they would likely be the front runner.

The final piece of the puzzle will likely be a big city that will market LeBron's brand with Nike and his other business ventures. James is going into his 16th season and will seriously be thinking about life after basketball during his next stint with his next team. Yes, he's only 33 but that old in basketball years. He's still trying to add to his 3 titles but the window is starting to close slowly.

There are very few choices that will fit King James whatever her decides to do, whether it's stay put and end his career where it began or move to another big city and ride off into the sunset as possibly the greatest ever.

This will be one of the most watched offseason ever because of other big names on the market, how many will actually ride with the King?
