Arr me hearties, the famed LeBron James be keepin' us all in suspense about his next move on the court. His trusty agent Rich Paul be givin' us a glimpse into his secret plans. Will he stay or will he go? Only time will tell, mateys!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, LeBron James' agent might have just made a big mistake. The NBA's all-time leading scorer's future is up in the air, as he has a player option with the Los Angeles Lakers, who just fired Darvin Ham as their head coach. Uncoincidentally, the deadline for that option comes two days after the NBA Draft, where his son, Bronny, may be drafted. For what it's worth, James has never shied away from retirement talk, either. As it stands now, James currently has a contract with the Lakers, but Rich Paul may have slipped up. Paul, the CEO of Klutch Sports, appeared on TNT's alternate broadcast of Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks when they were discussing James' future, when Paul might have jumped the gun. James joined the Lakers in 2018, winning a title with them in 2020. The Lakers have reportedly expressed interest in drafting the younger James to help with efforts in keeping LeBron around – however, scouts have not been too kind to Bronny. Reports have since said that LeBron is now more focused on Bronny's development, rather than playing with him.
