James welcomes the best time to return to the East! US media: Many superstars in the East are seriously injured + if they return, they can win the fifth championship

On July 5, the NBA entered the offseason. In recent times, rumors about James' deals have emerged, with some clues pointing to James' return to the East. In response, the famous media ClutchPoints publicly pointed out that with the serious injuries of Tatum and Halliburton, it is now the best time for James to return to the East.

In the past five seasons, the leaders who rushed out of the East are: Antetokounmpo (Bucks), Tatum (Celtics), Butler (Heat), Tatum (Celtics), and Halliburton (Pacers). Among them, Butler has joined the Warriors last season, Tatum and Halliburton both suffered serious injuries to the Achilles tendon in the 2024-25 season, Antetokounmpo is also deeply involved in trading rumors, and the Bucks are not as strong as before.

For this reason, the famous media ClutchPoints said when talking about the James deal: "The situation in the East is open now. Halliburton and Tatum are almost reimbursed next season, and Lillard left the Bucks. Suddenly, the Eastern Conference is no longer challenging, but more like an invitation."

Then ClutchPoints continued: "There may be a new king rise, but there is also a possibility. There will be the return of the old Kings. With the chaos of the East, the timing of James' strong return cannot be better. Whether it is a farewell trip in Cleveland or joining the Sixers to compete for the championship, this road is becoming extremely clear. If the Kings have the opportunity to rule the East, it is now."

While playing for the Cavaliers and the Heat, James won the NBA championship three times, of which he reached the Finals for eight consecutive years from 2011 to 2018. Do you think James should return to the East? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment section.
