All-Star Los Angeles combo forward LeBron James took to X with his thoughts.
Following a second straight brisk playoff defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets, this one a 4-1 exit in the first round , a pall was cast over the Los Angeles Lakers ' — and All-Star combo forward LeBron James' — future.
Two of LA's starters, James and point guard D'Angelo Russell, have player options for the 2024-25 season. James, who at 39 is the oldest player in the NBA, has just finished his 21st NBA season. He has a $51.4 million option to play a record-tying 22nd. After a very terse postgame presser, James took to his official X account to clarify how he feels about his future.
James looked like his typical All-Star self this season, averaging 25.7 points on .540/.410/.750 shooting splits. He cannot be the day-in, day-out defensive stalwart he was in his absolute prime, but nobody really expects him to be at this stage in his career. The fact that he remains such a stupendous offensive talent, capable of playing big minutes, is impressive enough.
I’ve seen, heard a lot of reports about my future. I said it last night and I’ll say it again. I do not know yet as I’m only thinking about spending time with my family & friends! When I know after speaking with the fam, my counsel asIt's been widely suggested that James will indeed opt out, but that he does intend to sign a new deal and play at least two more seasons. Time will tell if that reality shakes out. Should he depart, he would leave the Lakers in relative disarray.
