Vegas sportsbook puts odds on where LeBron James will sign

Now that LeBron James has brought home a NBA title to his home area of Northeastern Ohio, the questions have started about where he will play next year.

Now that LeBron James has finally brought a championship back to the city of Cleveland (close enough to his hometown of Akron that the feel good story has finally come true about his return), the next question has already been asked: was that his final time in a Cavaliers uniform?

LeBron has already left town once before (I think we all remember how smoothly that went) and went on to win two titles with the Miami Heat. Now that the personal goal of winning a title for his home area is complete, one has to wonder if James is going to head for the big city life again or attempt to repeat in Ohio.

Much like everything else in the sports world, Las Vegas has started to put odds on what LeBron James will do. The Bovada sports book gave opening odds for the five teams they think are going to be the favorite to land LeBron:

In all, Cleveland is the favorite to keep LeBron with odds being at 1/4. Miami is next at 5/1, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers (6/1), Los Angeles Clippers (11/1) and the New York Knicks (15/1). For what it’s worth, you almost have the sense that James wants to create a dynasty with his hometown team, so I’m pretty sure we will be seeing him in Northeast Ohio for at least the 2016-17 season.
