If James wants to play beyond the upcoming season, the Mavericks, Warriors, Knicks, or even Cavaliers appear to be potential destinations.

The elder James and Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry have developed a friendship over the years, and it allowed Curry to get a look at the younger James when the latter was a toddler. Curry recently remarked that he saw something special in the younger James even back then (h/t Lakers Daily ).
