Can you imagine thatafter having selected Bronny James in the last draft, Los Angeles Lakers are left without LeBron James? Well, it is something that will happen in the next few hours, but in principle, it will be temporary.
At the end of the year, the Akron forward and four-time NBA champion will turn 40 years old. Without signs of a physical decline that points towards a possible retirement, something natural in any other basketball player at his age, James was going to enter the last year of his signed contract, and that would report a total of $51.4 million next season. An astronomical figure, which was within his power to accept, but which he will renounce, as reported by journalist Shams Charania.
The reason for resigning from the current contract
The reason? That LeBron accepts a new multi-year proposal to return to the Lakers, a priori, less lucrative, so that the Los Angeles franchise has more economic room to reinforce the squad, in that fight to try to get a new ring.
The possible proposal
It could be a way, or not, since the ‘Los Angeles Times’ journalist, Dan Woike, points out that this new agreement between LeBron James and the Lakers could be three years and 162 million dollars.
Fulfill a dream
In any case, what is clear is that history would have to go very wrong for LeBron not to remain in Los Angeles, especially after his son Bronny was selected 55th in the draft. One of the great dreams that the ‘King’ has had, and that he will be able to fulfill starting next year.
