LeBron James listed as top potential free agency target for Spurs

LeBron James was recently listed as a hypothetical San Antonio Spurs target in free agency.

The San Antonio Spurs have a big future ahead of them. With Victor Wembanyama in place, they should be projected to be in the playoff race for the foreseeable future… they just have to get past the current season. San Antonio isn’t going to be a postseason squad this season, but they could make some big-time moves this offseason.

If they play their cards right, they could open up a max contract spot, and while they may be better off spreading out their money and adding multiple rotation pieces, they could go all out. Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report recently wrote a list of every team’s top three targets, and he put down three huge names for San Antonio.

The top of the list? LeBron James.

“And just imagine for a moment the possibility of Victor Wembanyama’s development being accelerated by the presence of LeBron on the roster,” Bailey wrote.

“He’d instantly solve the (often self-imposed) point guard crisis in San Antonio, while showing Wemby the blueprint for navigating over-the-top hype up close.”

Whether or not James picks up his player option this summer will obviously determine his availability, but seeing him a Spurs uniform would be crazy.
