LeBron James likes to let everyone guess his next move, but Shams Charania says he expects to return to the Lakers at least again in the NBA election.
ESPN insiders think he knows how James will play his $52.6 million player option.
“I was told he might choose to enter,” Shalani said Pat McAfee Show Tuesday. “He has a huge player choice. It might be the plan. However, his selection date is June 29. So he still has about a month to figure this out.”
James has become an unrestricted free agent after he chooses to enter the next season. Over the past few years, he has turned down player choices and signed more than one offer to increase flexibility.
Shams added: “He might choose to attend because the option is so big that gives you the flexibility to figure out if you extend that number or if it's the last year, essentially 23 years. They have an All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. Well, for me, it's a storybook, if that's what it does.”
Charania believes that LeBron may have a few words about the Lakers about the Brass in the current lineup.
“The Lakers, seeing the team looks like, there will be some tough conversations between him.” “Because listen, LeBron James, whether he plays another season or more, he wants to be in the competitive environment.”
Shortly after the report, Krach Sports CEO Rich Paul and LeBron's agents claimed he had no idea what LeBron's plans for next season were.
