Will we know this week where LeBron James will play next year since he confirmed he won't be a Laker?
64% of users predicted NO — the community got this one right. 45 predictions cast.
The question asked whether LeBron James's next team would be known within the week; it resolved No because he had not committed to a destination by the July 6, 2026 resolution date. James had informed the Los Angeles Lakers he intended to play elsewhere in 2026-27, opening a free-agency period that drew wide interest but produced no decision during the window. As of the resolution date, the 41-year-old remained unsigned.
Reporting placed several teams in the mix. His agent, Rich Paul, cited possibilities including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics. Multiple outlets identified Cleveland as an emerging frontrunner, in part tied to a potential reunion with his son Bronny James, but no signing was announced.
James appeared in no hurry to choose, and most of the market's top free agents settled before he did. The Predict Six community forecast this outcome: only 36 percent voted Yes, so the majority correctly expected the decision to slip past the week. His free agency remained among the offseason's most-watched storylines heading into the following week.
