Teams in Frenzy for NBA’s Top Talent

NBA superstar LeBron James is once again a free agent.  He’s only got a couple of weeks to decide if he will stay in Cleveland and play another year for the Cavs or once again head to a new team.

Teams all over the country are clamoring to show their stuff to the superstar, but rumor has it, if he leaves Cleveland, the Los Angeles Lakers are the most likely destination for the $30 million dollar player.

Some say that’s the team he’s got the most chance of beating the Golden State Warriors with, and continuing to win championships for years to come.

Salary caps with some of the franchises would eliminate them from contention.  James has until June 29th to opt in to the final year of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In light of his free agency, ESPN asked 30 artists with ties to NBA cities to come up with billboard art to woo King James to their city’s team.  Above, from left to right, is Charlotte, Golden State, and his hometown of Cleveland’s art.

Charlotte is owned by basketball legend Michael Jordan, while Golden State is the team that swept the Cavs in the finals.  Cleveland’s art plays to the family aspect, rather than solely James and his incredible talent.
