This is not a surprise, as his agent had already announced it, but LeBron James will decline his “player option” for next season. Thus making a cross on his salary of 51.4 million dollars, as specified by The Athletic.
However, should we see this as a sign of his imminent departure from Lakers ? Absolutely not, since the “King” and his franchise have everything to quickly agree on an extension. The arrivals of JJ Redick and especially Bronny James helping in this sense…
Concretely, if LeBron James decides to release himself from his contract, it is because he intends to re-sign for several seasons at The Angels. We are already talking about three years, for the modest sum of… 160 million dollars. While he will celebrate his 40th birthday (!) at the end of the year.
It is therefore in California that the four-time NBA champion should try to win a fifth ring in 2024–25, and probably beyond, since Rich Paul imagines his client and friend playing ” two or even three years ” more in the league. Enough to tickle Kevin Willis’ longevity record…
