Wouldn’t the fans love both of them on one team sheet? Although LeBron and Steph joining forces seems like a far-fetched idea, it is still a possibility. King James has a $51.4 million player option for next season.

NBA Insider Brian Windhorst believes LBJ might opt out of his player option, “I think LeBron’s gonna opt out no matter what. And the reason I think he’s gonna opt out no matter what is even if he just signs back for one year, the only functional way for LeBron to get a no-trade clause is to sign a new contract.”
