The best basketball player on the planet may opt out of the final year of his three-year, $100 million deal with the Cavaliers, and thus becoming a free agent July 1. "Where will LeBron play next season?" may edge out "Can anyone beat the Warriors?" as the NBA’s great parlor game question of 2018.
这个星球上最好的篮球运动员可能会选择跳出最后一年的合同，此前他与骑士队签了3年1亿美金的合同，从而在7月1日成为自由球员。“勒布朗·詹姆斯下一站将去往哪里？”可能会取代“有人能击败勇士队吗？”成为2018年用来闲聊NBA的最好的问题。
A Philadelphia-based company put up billboards on highway to downtown Cleveland this morning saying that philly wanted LeBron. One sports the hashtag "Philly Wants LeBron" in red, white and blue lettering. Another reads, in the same colors, "Complete the Process."
今天早上，一家费城的公司在去往克利夫兰市中心的高速公路旁的广告牌上贴上标语来招募詹姆斯，一块标语是“费城想要詹姆斯”分别用了红，白，蓝字体，另一块标语，也是同样的颜色“完成这个过程”。
Cleveland companies have responded to the Philadelphia company by putting up their own billboard. It says "HEY PHILLY" and "#TheLandOfTheKing," along with a giant crown that’s shaped to look like it’s flipping off the city of Philadelphia.
克利夫兰的公司在他们的广告牌上打出标语回应了费城的公司。写到“嘿，费城，王冠在这里”，下面有一个巨大的王冠其形状像是在嘲讽费城。
After the attempts by Philadelphia and Cleveland, a Lakers fan took it upon himself to try and recruit the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player. The fan purchased three billboards that went up Wednesday in Los Angeles. The billboards feature the hashtag #LABron while taking a shot at Cleveland and Philly. Underneath the hashtag is the caption, "Cleveland & Philly, You Can't Compete with L.A." Another says "Forget The Process, we win banners."
继费城和克利夫兰之后，一位湖人球迷也开始尝试招募这位4届常规赛MVP得主。球迷在洛杉矶购买了3块广告牌在周三投放广告。广告牌的特色标语是“洛布朗”，同时也没忘反击一下费城和克利夫兰，下面的标语就是“费城和克利夫兰你们竞争不过洛杉矶的”。另一个标语是“忘了那个过程吧，我们在冠军旗帜上完胜”。

A couple of Houston fans posted photos of them wearing custom made Lebron James Rockets jerseys. With Lebron's nickname "King James" and his number on them, the jerseys also have two sleeves with "Recruiting The King" and "Strive For Houston on each, as the latter honors Lebron's famous personal hashtag "Strive For Greatness".
两个休斯顿的球迷上传了他们身穿詹姆斯火箭队球衣的照片。同时印了勒布朗的绰号“小皇帝詹姆斯”和詹姆斯的球衣号。球衣的袖子上分别印了“招募小皇帝”和“为休斯顿而奋斗”后者致敬了詹姆斯有名的个人标签“为了伟大而奋斗”。
The post even received a like from Rockets star, one of Lebron's closest friends Chris Paul, making people wonder whether the two stars' relationship will factor in their free agency decisions.
这张照片甚至收到了火箭队的球星－詹姆斯最亲密的朋友之一保罗的点赞。这不禁让人们猜想他俩的私人关系会不会影响到詹姆斯在休赛期的决定。
While billboards are put up and jerseys are made, Lebron James' symbolic poster still hangs in downtown Cleveland, not Philadelphia, nor Houston, nor LA. "I've still got too much work to do here," James said, referring to the Cavs' current season.
虽然其他球队张贴广告牌和球衣，勒布朗·詹姆斯的象征性海报仍然挂在克利夫兰市中心，不是费城，不是休斯敦，也不是洛杉矶。”我仍然有很多事情要在这里做，”詹姆斯说到，他指的是骑士队的目前赛季。
"One thing about me and my career, your probably don't know, you haven't been around me, that I handle my business accordingly, and when that time comes I'll take care of that. "If someone is pretending they know what LeBron is thinking, they're guessing," one source close to the situation says. "How could anyone know when he doesn't even know?"
“关于我和我的事业，你可能不清楚，因为你没有在我身边，我会有根据地来处理我的商业上的生意，当那个时间点到来时，我会处理的很好。”一位知情人士说：“如果有人假装知道勒布朗在想什么，他们就在猜测。”“怎么会有人知道连詹姆斯本人都还不知道的事情呢？”
