NBA: LeBron James ready to leave the Lakers, his condition revealed
Despite his monstrous new season, LeBron James could not avoid the Los Angeles Lakers fiasco. While several questions arise about his future, the King would not consider leaving the California franchise where he feels good. The only condition that could push him out is the potential arrival of his son, Bronny, in the NBA in 2024.
LeBron James is coming off one of the toughest seasons of his career. When he arrived at Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, the King aimed to bring the California franchise back to the top of the NBA. A challenge he accepted and succeeded in his second season with the Lakers. Despite this, LeBron James is not satisfied. ” I came here to win a title and I want to win more. I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, but I’m still hungry for more “, he let go at the end of last season.
LeBron James has no plans to quit
But currently, the question is not whether he still wants to win, but rather where. Given the cataclysmic season of Lakers, LeBron James has reason to ask questions about its future. At the end of the season, the quadruple champion NBA still maintained the suspense on this subject. ” The discussion didn’t technically happen due to the NBA collective bargaining agreement. I know it’s about it, but myself and Rich [Paul] can’t even start talking to Rob [Pelinka] and at the front office because of the collective agreement. When we get there, we’ll see “, launched the King. While waiting to find out where he will play, LeBron James did not lose his motivation: How long can I play at this level? It will depend on my state of health. It will depend on my state of mind. It will depend on my motivation. I don’t set a date until when I want to play, I don’t mean until this season or this season, and my wife doesn’t want to hear about it if it’s longer than a certain number of years. I can still perform at the highest level and I showed it this year “.
He feels good at the Lakers
LeBron James has hinted many times, one of his big goals is to play alongside his son. Bronny James is eligible for the Draft 2024 and if all goes well, he could discover the NBA in just over two years. At 37, James has the legs to last until this period, it remains to be seen in which franchise his son will be drafted. But for the moment, LeBron James should not move. ” The Lakers have received a few calls from different teams about a trade from LeBron James, but there is no indication that the Lakers want to trade him. On the contrary, they prefer to extend his contract “, explains the insider Mark Stein in comments relayed by Let’s talk basketball.

“The only way to see LeBron leave the Lakers, is when Bronny James”
” The idea within the league is that the only way to see LeBron leave the Lakers is when Bronny James lands in the league. He will be eligible for the 2024 draft and continues to develop as a potential NBA prospect. It’s the only way LeBron will push for a departure from Los Angeles. Sources have confirmed that LeBron is very happy with the Los Angeles side, despite two difficult seasons for the franchise. The player, along with his family, have been doing very well in Southern California since signing James with the Lakers in the summer of 2018 », adds Mark Stein. In other words, the arrival of Bronny James in NBA seems to be the only argument for James franchise change. All that’s missing is the Lakers draftent Bronny…
