“What if instead of signing with any one team for next season, LeBron makes his retirement tour an actual retirement tour by signing a one-week contract with all 30 teams?” On the Ringer podcast, Simmons said to his co-host, David Jacoby. “Every team gets one LeBron home game where he starts and plays and they sell thousands of limited jerseys.”

It’s an unprecedented situation and will need a lot of stakeholders’ approval. That’s why Jacoby said, “This will never happen, but it should happen.”

Simmons replied, “I thought it was an almost unassailable idea. I loved it.” If he plays for the teams that guarantees him a ring as well. Another brilliant way to cap off the farewell year for the 22x All-Star.

When will LeBron James announce his decision?

Ever since the return to the Cavs, the topic of his retirement or next year being the final year has flared up. Constantly, Bron has stated that the decision has not crossed his mind yet.

“If James doesn’t want to play anymore… those career-defining decisions — leaving Cleveland for Miami, returning home, joining the Lakers — weren’t made until well after seasons ended,” Woike wrote. “While there’s a chance that James knows which way he’s leaning, one league source said James is also smart enough to know it would be foolish to make any permanent decisions in the emotional fog of an 82-game season.”

Much like Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Dwyane Wade, LeBron James having a retirement season would create massive box office results, Which would please Commissioner Silver and give fans a real chance to see the Akron native one final time.
