NBA star LeBron James is headed into unrestricted free agency this summer and could be leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers.

According to multiple reports, James is declining his $35.6 million contract option for next season.

His agent rich Paul informed the team this morning, although either side has made no public comment  ahead of free agency opening on Sunday.

The decision to decline the option for 2018-19 was expected by James because it gives him more options, which includes him re-signing with the Cavs, who can offer him a five-year, $209 million contract.

James can also sign a short-term deal with Cleveland, something he has done each year since returning in 2014.

ESPN analyst Steven A’ Smith says LeBron should leave Cleveland immediately.

James said he’ll factor family into his next choice and there’s still a chance he’ll re-sign with the ‘cavs, who were swept by golden state in this year’s finals.
