LeBron James is an unrestricted free agent. Again. But this time, the Washington Wizards are involved.
According to Brandon Robinson of ScoopB, the Wizards are a dark horse contender for James, who just finished the 2025-26 season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Here’s the money quote from Robinson:
The gravity of Washington’s pitch centers around Anthony Davis. It is no secret around the league that Davis and James remain incredibly close friends. However, Davis has been noticeably non-committal publicly
regarding his long-term desire to stay in Washington. Compounded by a desire to keep their star happy and anchored in D.C., the Wizards organization could be feeling the pressure to make a major splash.
Robinson went on to add that Trae Young would form the third piece of a “Big Three” of James, Davis and Young. In addition, James has been complimentary of the Wizards’ rebuilding process in past podcast interviews.
I am skeptical that the Wizards will bring in James for a farewell tour. He is 41 years old, yet he remains one of the league’s top players. But then again, the Wizards are under pressure to start winning games after getting the No. 1 draft pick.
