It appears LeBron James will be commuting from Philadelphia to New York this upcoming season.
During the offseason, ESPN reporters Dave McMenamin and Shams Charania both implied that James will consider commuting from NYC to Philadelphia after signing with the Sixers.

The fact that James could live in New York City and commute to Camden for practices and Philadelphia for games, as ESPN’s Shams Charania reported is a possibility, only added to the appeal. Paul said earlier this month that had the New York Knicks not won the championship in June, it would have been an easy choice for James to go to New York. Going to the Sixers could allow him to still live in NYC and, if he accomplishes his goal, win a title for a fanbase that has waited decades to see its team hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
After attending Tuesday’s practice, nedia members heard LeBron get on a helicoper to presumably leave Philadelphia for New York.
While Anfernee Simons was answering questions to the media members after Sixers practice Tuesday a loud droning noise could be heard coming from outside the facility: a helicopter for LeBron James to take to head to New York.

Considering Kobe Bryant died on a helicopter, NBA fans are worried for LeBron.
Please stop with the helicopter. Please. @KingJames
