LeBron James will not exercise the $35.6 million option on his contract with the Cavaliers for next season and will be an unrestricted free agent on Sunday, multiple sources told cleveland.com.

James had until 11:59 p.m. on Friday to pick up the option, which would have kept him in Cleveland for at least one more season. James’ agent Rich Paul notified the Cavs of his decision Friday morning.

This afternoon LeBron was spotted in Los Angeles after flying in from Anguilla where he was vacationing with his family.

Despite Vegas’ odds, LeBron James is the only person who knows where he’s going. Hopefully he let’s us know when sooner than later.
