Summary
Iman Shumpert urged LeBron James not to return to Cleveland expecting wins, saying a Cavaliers reunion should be only a "return tour" rather than a title chase.
On his podcast, Shumpert said James should choose Philadelphia "if this is about a ring," Miami for ticket sales, and Cleveland only to finish his career — warning frustration there could trigger roster upheaval.
James is weighing his next team after leaving the Lakers, with reports linking him to the Warriors, Heat, Cavaliers and 76ers.
Last season, James played 60 games for Los Angeles and averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists, though he will turn 42 by year-end.
