After trading for James Harden on Tuesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers could be positioning themselves to have a big three during the 2026-27 season with Donovan Mitchell and LeBron James.

Per The Athletic’s Joe Vardon and Jason Lloyd, the Cavs are considered “an obvious destination” for James if he decides to play next season and leaves the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.

“His salary would not be close to the $52.6 million he’s earning now in Los Angeles, but at age 41 he is aware of the market realities facing him if he extends his career,” Vardon and Lloyd wrote.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
