equivocation! James was revealed to be hesitant to decide whether to jump out of the contract or force the Lakers to submit

LeBron James has a player option worth 51.4 million dollars next season, and so far, the superstar has also been vague about whether he will implement this player option. James may choose to jump out of his contract and sign a new multi-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, or he may consider moving to another team.

According to Shams Zarania and Jowan Buha, reporters of The Athletic, James must make a decision before June 30. According to other reports, James is expected to play two more seasons: "The deadline for James' option of $51.4 million for the 2024-25 season is June 30. The league source told The Athletic that the routes he chose to join and opt out were on the negotiation table, and the NBA's historical scoring champion was expected to play another two seasons. "

James, 39, is still the top 15 player in the NBA. This season, he played 71 games for the Lakers, averaging 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game, shooting 54% and shooting 41% of three-point shots. With such an all star level, if James really chooses to leave the Lakers, he will still be the player all teams dream of. Even though he is nearly 40 years old, people still believe that James can be the best player in the championship level team.

For James, the most logical choice is that he chooses to jump out of the current contract and re sign it within the framework of the new labor agreement, because this will enable him to maximize his future income. However, the Lakers must prove that they still have the ability to let James compete for the championship. Given their level of a round of playoffs this year, it is not difficult. The Lakers' lineup will change dramatically this summer, but the management undoubtedly hopes James can continue to stay in the Lakers, because he is the team's star player and their signature task, they may try their best to let him spend the rest of his career in the Lakers.
