Rumors have emerged that newly-crowned NBA champion LeBron James could leave Cleveland once again to return to his former team Miami or join the Los Angeles Lakers following the Cavaliers' title-clinching Game 7 win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night.
Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski actually predicted it even before Game 7 started as the reporter said that "one more victory (pertaining to the seventh game of the Finals against the Warriors), one more magnificent night at Oracle Arena, and James will get to run off with his buddies again somewhere warm. Miami. Los Angeles. Wherever."

The first part of Wojnarowski's cryptic prophecy came true as James and the Cavs won the 2016 NBA championship and finally gave the city of Cleveland their first-ever major sports title in 52 years. They were also the first team in NBA history to come back from a 1-3 Finals deficit to win it all.
Now, what is interesting is whether the second part of his prediction will also come to fruition.
The reporter continued that "there's a restlessness about James that craves the next big move, the next power play. Franchises are on watch again, believing nothing's forever in Northeast Ohio."
Sure enough.
Earlier this year, James made headlines after saying that he dreams of one day teaming up with his best friends, fellow NBA All-Stars Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul, to form one super team before their careers are over particularly in Los Angeles, as per SB Nation.
While LeBron did not outright specify which team he is talking about, ESPN's Dave McMenamin, a Cavs beat reporter that is allegedly close to James, revealed that it could be in "one of those two teams in Los Angeles" but that he believes that "it will not be happening anytime soon".
There is little indication whether that "soon" is "now" as the whole city of Cleveland is still basking in the joy and glory of finally being on top of the NBA. But sooner or later, when free-agency period begins on July 1, James may make this summer a lot more than about Kevin Durant.
