The club’s leadership from Los Angeles will not replace the leader, even if it refuses to renew the contract.
LeBron James will stay with the Lakers and play in Los Angeles next season. After the failure in the regular season 2021/22, as a result of which the Lakers did not make it to the playoffs, a major cleanup is scheduled for the club.
The only person the team wasn’t willing to part with was LeBron. It was around him that the team for the future was built.
At the same time, some experts expect James to replace him with another team, as the basketball star’s contract will expire next summer, and someone will get it for free.
However, according to The Athletic, team owner Ginny Bass has completely ruled out the possibility. LeBron will remain even if he does not want to renew his deal with the club.
Note that next year the salary of a basketball player with the Lakers will be 47.1 million dollars. We also remember that LeBron has never been a trader in his career.
