Does anyone really expect to lose in the first round of the NBA qualifiers in five games is LeBron James’ last act in the NBA?
Shams Charania d’Espn reported Thursday Pat McAfee show The fact that his “understanding” is James will return for another season, perhaps by triggering his player option of $ 52.6 million.
Unsurprisingly, LeBron was not marketed when he was asked about his future immediately after the defeat of Los Angeles, 103-96, against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“I don’t know,” he told journalists. “I have no answer to that. Something I will sit with my family, my wife and my support group and in a way talk to it and see what’s going on. And I just have a conversation with myself on how long I want to continue playing.”
Unlike last year, there is only one tangible factor that indicates a clear result concerning its game status.
When James had long declared the goal of teaming up with his son Bonny in the NBA, he was not going to leave while Bonny entered the League. Now it is at least a little easier to buy the idea that it could finally retire.
But the All-Star at 21 times would leave a lot of money on the table. In addition, it continues to occur at a high level and should be more optimistic about the management of the Lakers than this time last spring.
From the moment the trade occurred, most could see Los Angeles moving his calendar by exchanging Anthony Davis for Luka Dončić. Dončić is six years younger than Davis, and more importantly, the departure of AD exacerbated one of the biggest problems of the team. The lack of interior protection of the was exposed repeatedly by Minnesota.
Beyond having Dončić on the list for a full season, the managing director Rob Pelinka has all summer to find the center that Lakers desperately need, as well as an athletics on the wing.
Maybe James does not want to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, or he is simply ready to hang up after 22 seasons.
Based on the Charania report, King James does not yet hang the crown.
