## Resource

LeBron James may be tempted to return to Cleveland, but the math doesn’t add up—Cavs lack cap space to match his market value, and trading Jarrett Allen to make room wouldn’t strengthen the roster. At 41, LeBron still dominates, and he’s unlikely to take a pay cut. The Lakers are working to keep him happy, while whispers suggest he’s frustrated as a third option. For now, Cleveland’s not a realistic contender for him, and chasing LeBron by sacrificing key pieces doesn’t make sense for their future.
