LeBron James has yet to decide if he will continue his career next season, but the indications throughout the season have been that he intends to play for a 24th NBA season.

"He's going to take the next few weeks to figure out exactly how he wants potentially his final year to play out," said Shams Charaniaon Wednesday's Rich Eisen Show. "All the indications I've gotten over the course of the year is that he's going to play one more season. The where and the how much of it all, that's all obviously going to be a factor.

"Is it going to be LA? That's probably got to be his preference if he wants to be home, as far as where his home base is now. The Lakers have made it clear that they want him back, so we'll see how that mutual potential interest culminates over the next month or so.

"But the one thing I do know is that multiple contenders are already circling here. If LeBron is really going to hit the open market and decide and have a true free agency, he's not going to have a shortage of teams that feel like, 'Listen, we'll go get LeBron, plug him in as our starting power forward or small forward, and let's go try to win a ring.'"

James has been most closely linked to the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers should he decided to leave the Lakers this offseason.
