Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Urges LeBron James to Rejoin Cavaliers After 8 Lakers Seasons

Summary
Abdul-Jabbar said LeBron James should finish his career in Cleveland after James told the Lakers he will sign elsewhere in free agency.
Cleveland quickly emerged as a plausible destination: Chris Haynes reported Cavaliers interest, and ESPN's Shams Charania said league figures are watching the Cavs, Warriors and Heat.
James is seeking “meaningful basketball” and plans to prioritize happiness over the richest offer, while agent Rich Paul has been told to engage any interested team.
Cleveland’s case is strengthened by an Eastern Conference finals run without James—the franchise’s first since 1992—and by reports that several people in his inner circle will meet in Ohio this week.
