LeBron James wants a no-trade clause
However, every year there are players who cannot be traded against their wishes. If a player signs a new one-year contract (with or without an option for the following year), he has the opportunity to reject a trade within the first year. James has repeatedly signed such contracts in the past, which is why a trade was almost never an issue.
Recently there were reports that LeBron wanted to stick around for at least another year or two after this season, although it is still unclear whether this will be the case with the Los Angeles Lakers. If LeBron wants a longer-term deal with a no-trade clause, that is also possible as he meets the following criteria for such a clause.
- The player must be a free agent
- The player must have at least eight years in the NBA under their belt
- The player must have been under contract with the team for at least the past four years
The Californians are currently still fighting for the playoffs, with a record of 45-34 they are currently in ninth place in the strong Western Conference. The gap to sixth place is 1.5 games. James is also playing a good season in his 21st season and is averaging 25.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 8.2 assists.
