LeBron James Next Team Odds: Warriors Clear Favorite if NBA Superstar Leaves Lakers
LeBron James is still an overwhelming favorite to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2024-25 NBA season.
But one team has become the clear-cut destination if he opts to become a free agent and leave the Lakers.
The Golden State Warriors are +1000 to add James this offseason, the clear-cut best odds among any other team. Golden State opened in a tie with Cleveland at +1400 odds, and has since climbed while the Cavaliers have dropped.
LeBron James Next Team Odds at DraftKings
- Los Angeles Lakers -475
- Golden State Warriors +1000
- Cleveland Cavaliers +1600
- Philadelphia 76ers +2000
- New York Knicks +2500
- Miami Heat +2500
- Dallas Mavericks +2500
- Phoenix Suns +3500
- Oklahoma City Thunder +4000
- Denver Nuggets +4500
- San Antonio Spurs +4500
The Lakers opened at -500 odds to retain LeBron James for next season, so their odds have lengthened slightly, but it’s still the scenario that the oddsmakers fully expect to happen.
Some of the leading NBA media analysts believe James’ return is a slam dunk, which is why these odds are so strong.
However, news can move quickly in basketball, and if James starts getting an inkling to go elsewhere, the reverberations will be major.
The Warriors are now seen as the clear-cut top destination, especially with some belief that Klay Thompson is on the way out.
James has made plenty of money in his career, so he could theoretically choose anywhere as his next team. If his son, Bronny James, enters the draft, the team that selects him could suddenly be in the mix.
The oddsmakers don’t see the below list of teams as likely landing spots, but a shocking move from King James would certainly result in a huge payout to bettors who nail his 2024-25 destination.
- New Orleans Pelicans +5000
- Milwaukee Bucks +5000
- Atlanta Hawks +5000
- Los Angeles Clippers +6000
- Houston Rockets +7000
- Orlando Magic +10000
- Memphis Grizzlies +10000
- Chicago Bulls +10000
- Boston Celtics +10000
- Brooklyn Nets +10000
- Minnesota Timberwolves +15000
- Indiana Pacers +15000
- Detroit Pistons +15000
- Utah Jazz +15000
- Toronto Raptors +15000
- Sacramento Kings +15000
- Portland Trail Blazers +20000
- Charlotte Hornets +20000
