Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright believes that the Miami Heat are the ideal next team for Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
James, who could opt out of his contract at the end of the 2023-24 season to become an unrestricted free agent, spent four seasons with the Heat earlier in his career. He played alongside Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in Miami, and the trio went to four straight NBA Finals, winning two of them.
Wright pointed out Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and James’ past experience with the Heat franchise as reasons why Miami would be a great next team for him.
Miami has made the NBA Finals in two of the last four seasons since Butler joined the franchise, and the team has three Eastern Conference Finals appearances in that stretch.
