According to the latest report from well-known reporter Shams, James plans to play until he is 42 years old and wants to hit the fifth championship trophy of his career, and the Lakers have also shown a strong willingness to renew his contract, and are also willing to build a championship-winning lineup for James in the offseason and introduce a third superstar.
At present, it is known that there are two superstars in the league who maintain close contact with the Lakers James, the first is Durant, who is known as the league's death.
After all, although the Suns have formed a super triumvirate for Durant, but the record is very unsatisfactory, and he was eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, which made Durant feel at the bottom, you must know that Durant's greatest desire is still to win the championship trophy to prove that he is right to leave the Warriors, and now it seems that Durant is a failure in the Suns and does not have the strength to win the championship, so Durant is likely to join a team that can compete for the championship at the end of his career, and the Lakers are a good choice, First of all, the combination of the big and small kings of the league will attract the attention of countless fans, and with the addition of Davis, the Lakers will have the most powerful super three in the league, so the Lakers are also prepared to trade Durant's chips for this.
Another superstar is the Bucks' alphabet brother, who was eliminated by the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs, which has made the alphabet brother disheartened, and he no longer has great expectations for the Bucks to win the championship, although the Bucks have introduced superstar Lillard to the alphabet brother this season, but it can be seen that the two are not suitable throughout the season, so when it was revealed not long ago that no one from the team was invited to participate in the Greek marriage, it can be seen how disappointed the alphabet team was, but the alphabet brother invited Lakers star James to attend the wedding.
It is known that James is the only NBA player to be invited, can you imagine the relationship between the two of them, and what is the next step for Brother Alphabet? If Brother Alphabet joins the Lakers, then the league can really be said to be the finale.
It was also revealed that the Lakers are also very interested in Bronny, who will participate in this year's draft, and is willing to select Bronny in the draft, so that James can realize his wish to compete with his son Bronny. After the Lakers were eliminated by the Nuggets in the playoffs this season, James has become more and more harmonious with Lakers owner Jenny, and the Lakers are willing to welcome James' return in any form and strengthen him, even at the expense of offering a three-year, $164 million super-max contract.
Previously, Lakers reporter D also reported that the Lakers are very eager to renew James' contract and hope that he can play with the Lakers until he retires. At present, James has one season left on his contract with the Lakers, with a player option worth $51.4 million, and now James has chosen to jump out of the contract and will reach a new contract extension agreement with the Lakers in the future, which is expected.
However, James seems to be more focused on spending time with his family at the moment, and has not yet made a clear statement about his future. But no matter what decision he ultimately makes, I believe that the future of him and the Lakers is full of expectations, after all, now the Lakers are also showing with their actions that everything is for James to stay on the team, and not long ago the Lakers have officially announced the dissolution of Coaching Ham's team, and the new head coach is also waiting for James's personal opinion.
Now James will face a pivotal career decision this summer, he can sign a contract extension with the Lakers and possibly join another team as a free agent. It is worth noting that the future of James' son Bronny also affects James's decision, and the desire to fight alongside his son is also a big wish of James. Now that Bronny has decided to participate in this summer's draft, he could also choose to return to college if he doesn't make the cut. Although James is the oldest active player in the league, ESPN analysis believes that he is still in excellent form, averaging points, assists and rebounds per game, and showing no signs of aging. Especially in this season's regular season and playoffs, it has been proved that James is at least the top 20 players in the league, and what is even more terrifying is that James's three-point shooting rate is still improving, and the three-point shooting rate is even more than the league's three-point king Curry, and he is also the scoring champion at a critical moment this season.
