The summer of 2014 isn't even here yet and there has been plenty of speculation about the possible destinations for Miami Heat star LeBron James. The reigning MVP could become next year's blockbuster headline, as he said he hasn't the idea about what he's going to do.
"I have absolutely no idea. I would love to spend the rest of my career in Miami with this great team and great organization as we continue to compete for championships. That's ideal."
Though James would ideally want to stay with the Heat, he understands the nature of the business.
"I mean, as a kid, I never thought the Bulls would break up. Never. If you'd of told me as a kid that [Michael] Jordan and [Scottie] Pippen wouldn't play together for the rest of their lives, I'd have looked at you crazy. And Phil Jackson wouldn't be the coach? I'd have looked at you crazy. But sometimes the nature of the business doesn't allow things to happen like you would want them to. But we'll see."
As of now he plans to remain focus on the upcoming season as the Heat look for a three-peat in the upcoming season.
"I owe it to myself, I owe it my teammates and I owe it to the Miami Heat to stay focused," he said. "As a leader, I'm not even going to let that side of the business get me unfocused on what I'm trying to do and that's trying to win another championship.
"I'm going to try to [stop the discussion about free agency], but you always have reporters who are going to always bring it up. They're going to change the question and make it sound like something else. But it will get to a point, if I continue to hear it, where I will say, 'Hey guys, I've answered the question and out of respect, let's talk about this after the season."'
The assumption amongst most is that James will stay with the Heat after this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers are said to be strong candidates should he decide to leave.
