Cleveland Cavaliers: 5 goals for LeBron James in 2017-18

1. Win another championship

LeBron James has accomplished everything in the game of basketball.

The 2003 Rookie of the Year is a three-time NBA champion, a five-time All-Defensive First Team selection, and has had the honor of playing in seven consecutive Finals since the turn of the decade, scoring more points than any player in the history of the postseason. This means championships are the only things left for James to play for.

In his quest to capture his fourth title last season, James and the Cavaliers fell short in their quest to win back-to-back championships, as they went down in five games to Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors in the 2017 NBA Finals.

Now, the organization has sought to revamp its roster, as the front office added Derrick Rose, Isaiah Thomas and Dwyane Wade over the offseason in the effort to acquire depth and make yet another championship run.

Should James not find a way to win with this supporting cast, then he would likely consider this coming season as a failure. The 2016 NBA Finals MVP has dominated the Eastern Conference for the last several years, and has forced teams who once had hopes of beating him to rebuild their rosters time and time again.

However, it still is not enough.

James is set to be the biggest free agent in the game next summer, and while he will not seek to take questions about it throughout the season, everyone knows that he only has one goal as he approaches the twilight years of his career: win now.

He wants to join the likes of players such as Magic Johnson, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O’Neal and Michael Jordan, who have had the pleasure of winning four or more championships in their respective careers.

Should he not, then James’ return to the Cavaliers would not be fully guaranteed, as it could mark the end to what has been an incredible era of basketball in Cleveland.
