The future Hall of Famer is entering free agency and while he doesn’t plan to make a final decision any time soon, James openly admitted he doesn’t know what his basketball future looks like.
“I’m still in the moment of just taking my time. I haven’t even really thought about it too much,” James told Steve Nash on Thursday’s “Mind the Game” podcast. “Obviously, I understand that I’m a free agent, and I can control my own destiny, if being here with this franchise for the forseeable future or it’s going somewhere else.
“But I haven’t really even gotten to that point. I haven’t even taken my family vacation yet, which is going to happen after Memorial Day. That’s kind of the thing at the forefront of my mind.”

James expects to have a decision finalized by August at the latest.
“I think at some point, up in June, late June, as July rolls around, free agency gets going,” he added. “As July’s rolling maybe into August, we start to kind of get a feel of what my future may look like, if it’s continuing to play the game that I love, which I know I can still give so much to the game, and play at a high level, or if it’s not. But I have not gotten to that point yet.”
Could a return to the Cleveland Cavaliers be in store?
