LeBron James, the most outstanding player for the Los Angeles Lakers, is an explosive topic in the NBA, and because he will be eligible to become a free agent this summer, there will probably be a lot of discussion about it in the next few months.
NBA expert Brian Windhorst believes James, who hinted at a potential retirement after the conclusion of the previous season, will play in the 2024–25 season, but he is unsure whether it would be with the Lakers.
James’ contract with the Lakers includes a player option for the 2024–2025 campaign. He has the option to turn it down and become a free agent this summer, which might allow him to depart Los Angeles.
Of course, the subject of James’ kid, Bronny, often comes up when talking about his future. The younger James may join the NBA the following season. The older James has said that he wants to play in the league alongside his son.
The 19-year-old’s summer was complicated by a cardiac attack, so he’s still figuring things out at USC, but he has shown glimpses of promise. This season, he scored 15 points in one game and then only managed to score 10 in the following one. As a rookie, he’s scoring 5.2 points per game on average overall.
The younger James’s final NBA Draft choice in 2024 may have an effect on his father’s choice of where to play for the 2024–25 season. It goes without saying that the future Hall of Famer would remain in Los Angeles if the Lakers selected the younger James in the draft.
At the moment, James and the Lakers are focused on maximizing the 2023–24 season in an attempt to duplicate some of the team’s accomplishments from its 2023 Western Conference Finals appearance. The Purple and Gold are now holding the No. 10 slot in the West and are 20-21 on the season.
Although the Lakers’ victory in the NBA’s in-season tournament hasn’t completely soured the campaign so far, there is still a lot of work to be done before Los Angeles can achieve all of its objectives this year.
