勒布朗·詹姆斯在确认不会回归洛杉矶湖人队后，正谨慎对待自己的自由球员选择。休赛期已过去一周，这位41岁的球星尚未决定他第24个NBA赛季的归宿。
詹姆斯的经纪人里奇·保罗于6月30日表示，詹姆斯在效力八个赛季后将离开湖人队。最初考虑的球队包括金州勇士队、迈阿密热火队和克利夫兰骑士队，目前至少还有七支其他球队以不同程度参与其中。
马克·斯坦周二报道称，联盟中一些人士预计詹姆斯至少还会再等一周才会做出决定。这一时间线将使此次官宣成为他职业生涯中最晚的一次。
预计詹姆斯将以部分中产特例或底薪合同签约，从而消除以往决策中受到的薪资空间压力。他正在评估多支球队的阵容构建及夺冠竞争力。
正在进行中的世界杯（四分之一决赛定于7月9日至11日举行）也被认为是可能导致延迟宣布决定的因素，他可能会等到重大足球赛事结束后再做决定。
