The Ringer NBA Show

LeBron James will not be returning to the Los Angeles Lakers, and will likely finish his career elsewhere. Just where might that be? Logan Murdock, Raja Bell, and Howard Beck discuss LeBron’s departure and where his next landing spot will be. Could he return home to Cleveland, where it all began? Maybe Miami, where he captured his first championship? Or could he reconnect with Olympic teammate Steph Curry in Golden State? Plus, Kawhi Leonard is headed back to Toronto after the Clippers traded him for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and picks. Where does this put the Raptors in the hierarchy of the East?(00:00) Intro
