It seems very likely that leBron James will announce his retirement ahead of time so that he can enjoy a farewell tour during his final season.

Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor feels that the NBA will get a heads up before LeBron James retires because the Los Angeles Lakers star will want to end his playing career with a "farewell tour."

Per Vardon and Woike, the NBA's all-time leading scorer's lack of engagement on a potential exit and numerous barriers to the forward joining other teams will likely combine to keep him on Los Angeles into training camp.
