LeBron James Rumors: 'All Signs Point Toward' Lakers Star Signing Contract Extension

There is hope that the two sides will come to an agreement that will keep him in purple and gold for at least a few more years.

Both sides are looking to extend their partnership, according to Dave McMenamin. In 2020 it will lead to one championship. It's led to two playoff appearances where they didn't make it, but overall I think both sides realize that they can help one another get to their mutual goal, which is to compete at a high level and stay relevant as both one of the best players in the NBA and one

James is in the last year of his contract with the Lakers and can sign a two-year extension that would keep him in L.A.

He will be 38 by the time his current contract ends. The NBA's collective bargaining agreement only allows players 38 years old or older to sign two-year contracts.

Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul said that the two sides had a productive discussion. They met with Pelinka and Ham.

James was able to sign an extension on Thursday. If he doesn't sign a new deal by June 30, 2023, he will be free to sign with another team.

James wants to play with his oldest son in the NBA before he hangs up his cleats. The senior year of high school is when Bronny will be eligible for the NBA draft.

James said in an interview that his last year would be with his son. Wherever Bronny is, that's where I'll be. I would do anything to play with my son. It's not about money at that time.

Even though the Lakers missed out on the playoffs, James showed no signs of slowing down. He averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebound and 6.2 assists in 56 games while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor and 35.9% from deep.

In 2022-23, the 18-time All-Star is expected to play just as well, though he hopes his efforts will lead to a playoff spot and another NBA title.
