Cleveland, Miami, Golden State, Philadelphia and Minnesota are listed among the leading suitors

LeBron James is moving closer to a decision on his future. Speaking on NBA Today, Shams Charania said that most of the information is now in, with general managers, presidents, owners and players all making their pitches.

According to Charania, the leading suitors remain Cleveland, Miami, Golden State, Philadelphia and Minnesota. LeBron has privately made it clear that he wants to join a team where he can compete for a championship and find happiness in the right culture and environment.

The decision will not be financially driven, which allows James to consider very different situations: teams with only the minimum, other exceptions or salary-cap space. That flexibility also gives him the chance to take his time before making a final choice.
