“Could you imagine LeBron’s last year in Cleveland?… His school, the city” - Channing Frye believes LeBron James will take less money to go back to Cleveland, says he can take them to the ECF
With LeBron James' illustrious career nearing its conclusion, many have questioned which team will be the LA Lakers forward's last. Given his desire to clinch a fifth NBA championship, LBJ could make his way to another franchise to improve his chances.
However, he is on the verge of extending his contract with the Lakers, which could see him remain with the franchise until 2025. If extended, James could end his career with the Lakers.
NBA champion Channing Fyre suggested that another tryst with the Cleveland Cavaliers would be a good way to end a successful career. On the podcast 'Road Trippin,' Frye stated:
"Could you imagine LeBron's last year in Cleveland?...I'm just a kid from Akron. His school, the city. I'll say this to his face he should go back to Cleveland every single game."
"I think he's going to play the point guard and they're going to go to the Eastern Conference finals and they might lose to a team who's young, but then he's going to go out. It's going to be the greatest last year. If he knows this is last year I think he takes less money to go back to Cleveland."
Channing Frye believes LeBron James will never be a third-wheel at LA
LeBron James became eligible for a contract extension a week ago, and could extend his stay with the Lakers. If he chooses to extend his contract with the franchise for a year, he's on course to earn $46.7 million ($97.1 million if he decides to sign a two-year extension).
LeBron James is eligible to sign a two-year, $97.1M contract extension with the Lakers on August 4th.
Should he re-sign or test the market next year? https://t.co/w296TZDP0G
Channing Frye believes the forward can take a pay cut to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers for his final run in the league. He predicted that LBJ could at least take his home franchise to the Eastern Conference finals.
"He's gonna be in LA until, I cannot imagine my mind Bron being third wheel, right? It's gonna be tough, okay, so when Bron is second wheel and a half. Bron's like all right man, thank you I'm going somewhere for a season and we're going to make it work.
