Are The Cleveland Cavaliers In Crisis?

The Cleveland Cavaliers could be in crisis with the upcoming free agency. Cavs’ superstar LeBron James will be a free agent. There seems to be a lot of discord between the Cleveland franchise and King James.

NBA fans are salivating to know what James’ decision might be. While we can’t accurately predict his decision. We can predict the specific factors that could cause a parting of ways between James and the Cavaliers.

Possible Key Factors To Keep An Eye On

LeBron James and the Cavs were swept by the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. This was primarily due to a team who seemed to give up after a big mistake executed by J.R. Smith late in Game 1.

Although James carried the Cavaliers, it just wasn’t enough to stop the Warriors. Chris Paul of the Houston Rockets is a good friend of LeBron’s’ and could try to recruit him. Paul is also a free agent and could opt out of Houston based on LeBron’s next move.

Los Angeles Is A Possible Destination

Los Angeles could be an ideal destination for King James. The Lakers are an established championship franchise and would like to add more championships. Their young and talented roster and James as the core player could turn that theory into reality.

LeBron James stated through social media that his family would be the key factor in his decision. So all theories aside, King James is the only one that knows which path he’ll pursue. It seems that the Cavaliers are prepared to move on with or without King James

All of these factors could cause dire straits for Cleveland and could be the end of James’ reign in the Eastern Conference.
