Although rumors have suggested that the Cavaliers could field a trio of LeBron James, Donovan Mitchell, and James Harden next season, Lou Williams advises against it.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — “Do you think LeBron is coming back?” I hear that question from fans every day about LeBron James possibly returning to the Cavs. Maybe I’m just turning into a grumpy old man – and that’s possible – but I find the obsession on the part of some fans about James coming back to Cleveland rather annoying.

Ahead of this season’s trade deadline, the Cleveland Cavaliers surprised many when they decided to break up their star-studded backcourt duo of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland to pair the Spida with LA Clippers veteran James Harden.

The future of LeBron James could see a reunion with the Cleveland Cavaliers if his recent comments praising the team hold deeper meaning. James is not expected to retire after this season, so his upcoming free agency could become the biggest story in the NBA in a couple of months.

LeBron James's potential return to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2026-27 season is gaining traction, with market odds at 43 cents reflecting a mispriced opportunity, as the team builds a strong roster and the Lakers face significant challenges.
