## Resource

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands and Cavs beat reporter Chris Fedor shift from the rumors to the basketball, evaluating which teams make the most sense for LeBron James at this stage of his career. James is operating entirely on his own timeline, potentially preparing for the final two or three seasons of his career while taking full advantage of his unprecedented ability to bring the NBA offseason to a standstill. Ethan and Chris evaluate the basketball and storybook fits for several potential destinations, including Cleveland, Philadelphia, Miami and Golden State, before examining what each scenario could mean for the Cavaliers.
