“Overly Effusive With Jokić”: Brian Windhorst Reveals LeBron James’ Close Ties With Nuggets Amid Warriors Rumors

The search for a new home continues for LeBron James as the Denver Nuggets surface as another suitor. James recently declared that he no longer intends to play for the Los Angeles Lakers, while announcing that he'll be playing for another team next season. This resulted in everyone tuning in to see which team LeBron would end up in.

James told his agent, Rich Paul, to entertain all teams that are willing to make him an offer. Having said that, it's now quite unclear which direction the King is heading. Many speculate that it could either be the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Golden State Warriors. However, NBA insider Brian Windhorst suggested that James could end up in Denver.

"I have long believed that if there was an outlier team for LeBron, if he was willing to take some exception, was Denver (Nuggets)," Windhorst said. "If you notice, during the year this year, he was overly effusive with (Nikola) Jokic. ... I'll just point out that he has a relationship with Josh Kroenke, the Kroenke family, the owners of the Nuggets. ... If I were Denver, I would kick the tires."

As of this publishing, the Warriors remain the frontrunners in the LeBron sweepstakes. Draymond Green declined his player option worth $27.7 million to make room for James' asking price. While the intention was to also trade for Anthony Davis to sweeten the deal for the King, it seems that the Warriors don't see a future with the big man in the long run.

Based on how everything has turned out so far, it's still quite uncertain where James could end up.

Former NBA Star Shares How LeBron James Kept Quiet About Year 24

Earlier this June, LeBron James reunited with some of his 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers teammates to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their championship victory against the Golden State Warriors. Some of the notable names in attendance were Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson, Tristan Thompson, Channing Frye, and Matthew Dellavedova.

Despite being on vacation, everyone on the trip was curious to know whether James would still suit up for his 24th NBA season. Shumpert recently revealed that LeBron kept the information from them; however, he predicted that the King wasn't retiring yet.

"He really didn’t tell us where he was going," Shumper said on The Road Trippin' Show. "I just knew once I saw his meal prep. Anybody that’s had to be this disciplined for that long when we go to Saint-Tropez is going to let loose. I saw the BOSU ball, yeah, he playing. Anytime he got the BOSU ball and he going to put the knees on that BOSU and he doing this s**t, he going to start doing medicine ball workouts and he on the BOSU, yeah he playing."

True enough, James declared that he will be returning for another season. The question now is which team will he play for?
