Agent: LeBron eyeing host of teams, including Heat, Cavs, 76ers - ESPN

Three days after LeBron James informed the Los Angeles Lakers he will be continuing his career elsewhere, his agent, Rich Paul, made two things abundantly clear: His client has options, and the hype around his decision is only beginning.

Paul, on an episode of his «Game Over» podcast with Max Kellerman released Friday, used a whiteboard and pointer to illustrate a bevy of teams that James could join and weighed the pluses and minuses of each situation.

The purpose of the exercise, Paul told ESPN on Friday, was to help fans understand James' process and the many layers he has to consider with every team that expresses interest.

On a previous appearance on ESPN's «The Pat McAfee Show,» Paul said «10 to 12 teams» had already contacted him about James, and on the whiteboard, Paul seemingly referenced every one of them.

Paul told ESPN on Friday that he has now spoken to 27 teams about James and the factors James has to think about are fluid — like the Philadelphia 76ers trading for Jaylen Brown, for instance.

«Every day things change,» Paul told ESPN. «This is the first time that LeBron James is making a decision pressure-free. He's won already. He's made good on his promise — he won in L.A. This is strictly for his happiness. What does happiness entail? It's a number of things. It's a bucket of happiness. It's basketball, it's living, it's camaraderie, it's competition. It's everything.»

The Klutch Sports CEO included 10 teams on the board during the podcast: Philadelphia, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs.

The first team Paul discussed was the 76ers.
