​The question of where LeBron James will play next has lingered for about three weeks after he told the Los Angeles Lakers that he’d opt for a new team in free agency.The news sent the basketball world into a frenzy. As teams and players are all making their pitch to James in hopes that he’d join their team, there are some that are wishing he’d wrap this process up.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMost notably, NBA commissioner Adam Silver.Silver spoke at the CNBC Sport x Boardroom Game Plan Summit in New York and addressed James’ decision-making process in an interview with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin. He expressed his desire for James to make a selection so that the league can continue with its business ahead of the 2026-27 season.”I guess all politics are local. The way I think about it is, we have to finish up the schedule,” Silver said. ” And where LeBron plays will affect the schedule. So I would like him to make his announcement already, so we can finish the schedule, because, as you might imagine, the teams are calling us, the networks are calling us, and everybody wants to lock in the schedule. But it will influence how we set the schedule, how we set opening week, Christmas Day, etc. So I need him to make a decision.”LEBRON JAMES DECISION: Latest rumors on when star chooses next team1 / 21Gold medalist LeBron James of Team United States celebrates on the podium during the Men’s basketball medal ceremony on day fifteen of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Bercy Arena on Aug. 10, 2024 in Paris, France.

I’m not going to share it with you, but I’m just saying, it’s not, it’s, I don’t know.”Silver is a fan of the game. He’s not rooting for James to join one team over another, but rather the best storyline leading into next season and to end his career.”There’s certain stories that I prefer over others, and even on his behalf. But he’s going to be 42 this fall. It’s amazing what he’s done for the sport, for the league, and he deserves exactly what — the opportunities that were presented to him to be able to make his own decision on what’s best for him and his family. So I completely respect that. But, as I said, I think on behalf of the league, I think there are certain storylines that may be better than others, but I don’t want to prejudge it. Let’s see what he does.”MIAMI HEAT: Welcome Giannis Antetokounmpo with new jersey.
