estment in the first team
LeBron James won’t be picking any players during Thursday’s NBA draft.
At least not directly.
With the trajectory of their franchise riding on where he decides to play next season and beyond
Mario Addison Jersey , the Cleveland Cavaliers will enter this year’s draft not knowing if they’re choosing a player to help them – and James – contend for another championship, develop a prospect for the future or potentially take a player to trade.
It’s a guessing game.
James has until June 29 to exercise his $35.6 million contract option for next season or decline it and become an unrestricted free agent, officially making him the planet’s best and most coveted player.
The 33-year-old is not expected to reveal his intentions until after the draft.
By that time, the Cavs
Trevon Coley Jersey , still stinging from a Finals sweep at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, hope to have chosen a player that makes them more appealing to the three-time champion, who is mulling whether to leave them – and his Northeast Ohio home – for the second time in his career.
Anything seems possible at this point. James and his representatives have kept an air-tight lid on their plans.
The Cavs, too
Malik Hooker Jersey , have been secretive while general manager Koby Altman prepares for his first draft by consulting with his staff on what to do with the No. 8 overall pick, the one they received last summer in the seismic trade that sent All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics.
It’s quite a quandary for Cleveland, and James isn’t helping the Cavs by keeping them in suspense.
It’s also possible that James hasn’t made up his mind.
The San Francisco 49ers have taken a minority ownership stake in English soccer club Leeds.
Leeds says on its website the deal is a ”strategic partnership with 49ers Enterprises, an investment entity affiliated with the San Francisco 49ers.”
The second-tier club says ”funds invested will remain inside the club and will go towards investment in the first team squad.”
The agreement brokered by Leeds majority owner Andrea Radrizzani sees the president of 49ers Enterprises
Mike Glennon Jersey , Paraag Marathe, join the Leeds board of directors.
Seen as a sleeping giant of English soccer, Leeds finished 13th in the 24-team Championship this season.
Leeds won the last of its three English league titles in 1992, and was a Champions League semifinalist in 2001.
