The Los Angeles Lakers acquring Luka Doncic has sent ripples through the league and the media that covers it. While some people wonder what it will look like to see Doncic and LeBron James play together, others are wondering where LeBron will go next.

Aside from the fact that LeBron is already on his third franchise, he seems unlikely to move again. Even if it would be fascinating.
