LeBron James does not necessarily want a retirement tour, per Dave McMenamin

“That could bring some negative with it if his body doesn’t cooperate, he goes to a city, everybody buys tickets, and he is unable to play. He doesn’t want that disappointment following him.”

Siegel: “The Heat can offer Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez, Jakucionis, and 2 1st round picks they can trade right now… in the offseason, all of a sudden that doubles — they can trade 4 1st round picks… I just don’t think there’s another team out there that has a better package than that”
