LeBron James Eyes Next Team: Will He Join Heat or Warriors?

LeBron James is heading into the final season of his career, and the number one NBA free agent is considering his options.

What are his options?

The Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors are the top contenders for his services.

Why the Heat?

The Heat recently acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo, but lost guard depth in the process, making LeBron's playmaking skills a valuable asset.

LeBron's return to Miami would instantly put the Heat among the NBA's best teams.

Why the Warriors?

The Warriors have made moves for one last run, acquiring Kristaps Porzingis and drafting Yaxel Lendenborg, and a lineup featuring Curry, LeBron, and Porzingis would be a contender in the West.

The Warriors feel like the better fit for LeBron, given his close relationship with Stephen Curry and the potential for a storybook ending to his career.

LeBron is 41 years old and has spent the last eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers, winning an NBA Championship and an NBA Cup, and earning multiple All-Star and All-NBA selections.

The decision will come down to whether LeBron wants to reunite with Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra in Miami or join forces with Curry in Golden State.

The Heat and Warriors will be pushing hard to sign LeBron, but only one can land the four-time NBA champion.

On the line is LeBron's chance to win a fifth ring and end his career as a champion.
