Former Teammate Tells LeBron James Where to Consider Heading Next originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The biggest storyline of the NBA offseason so far is LeBron James and his future. Although he exercised his $52.6 million player option, the 40-year-old is preparing to start his 23rd season in the league.

LeBron James is set to enter his 23rd NBA season, and even as he approaches his 41st birthday in December, he remains one of the most prominent figures in professional sports — a status he’s held since he first entered the league.

LeBron James declined an opportunity to speak about his future with the Los Angeles Lakers on ESPN's Saturday night broadcast of Summer League action in Las Vegas.
