NBA: LeBron James stays but scares away Lakers fans

There is a lot of discussion in the United States about the future of LeBron James. The’All Star has decided to exercise the player option, from $52.6 million, and, therefore, remain with the Los Angeles Lakers again for next season.

He will play his 23rd season in the NBA (an all-time record) with the yellowviola, trying to give a hand to Luka Doncic. In fact, despite the choice made, there are still several doubts about the future of the four-time NBA Champion.

“LeBron wants to compete for the title. He also realizes that the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but for him the most important thing is to have a real chance to win the ring… We want to evaluate what is best for LeBron at this stage of his life and career: he wants to do the best in every season he has left at this point in his career” the words of agent Rich Paul to ESPN.

Statements that, in fact, keep anxious Lakers fans who, despite the decision to accept the player option, know that LBJ could also go play elsewhere if the conditions are right to try to win what would be his fifth NBA ring. Meanwhile, still in Los Angeles, note James Harden’s two-year signing with the Clippers. The Beard is not going anywhere.
