Three teams emerge as favorites in LeBron James sweepstakes

Until LeBron James finds his landing spot in a post-Los Angeles Lakers world, people are going to be fixated on his next move. Can you blame them? At 41, James truly defies Father Time. He's still at the top of his game literally decades into his career.

So, where will James land? The same teams keep popping up along with some unexpected names. But, if anyone has a pulse on where James will end up, it's ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania.

According to Charania, it's down to three teams for James. Of course, other teams are interested, and this could change. However, as of this moment, three teams have emerged as the best bets on who will get James on their roster.

On Tuesday, Charania reported that three teams are the most serious about getting James: the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers.

This isn't a surprise. All three of these teams have been linked to James. But, not seeing the Golden State Warriors on the list is a bit surprising.

"When I talk to teams around the league and when I do my research, the teams that continue to come up are Cleveland, Miami, Philadelphia," he said.
