Only three teams reportedly 'make sense' for LeBron James

The Los Angeles Lakers are keeping Austin Reaves for the long run, and they're clearly building around Luka Doncic.

That might leave LeBron James as the odd man out, and he will most likely have several suitors in free agency.

Nevertheless, that doesn't mean he will consider signing with every team that covets him.

According to ESPN insider Ramona Shelburne, James will only play for a team with "a story." Talking on "The Dan Le Batard Show," she revealed James' only logical destinations, including one that was somewhat surprising.

LeBron James needs 'a story' to leave the Lakers

“If you’re going to break up with the Lakers, you got to have a story,” Shelburne said (h/t Heat Culture). “There’s going to have to be a good reason for doing it. It can’t just be ‘because I don’t want to take a pay cut or whatever it is.’ Miami is a good story. Cleveland would be a good story. Golden State would be a good story. I wouldn’t have said Miami until they did this last night, but those 3 teams make sense to me … I wouldn’t say never.”
