James, at 39 years of age, could become a free agent with the intention of playing with his son Bronny James, but the Warriors do not plan to sign him due to his high cost.
LeBron James has the option to become a free agent for the 2024-2025 NBA season and there is a lot of speculation about it. Although he can stay with the Lakers, he could decline the option of one more season for $51.4 million.
This is motivated by his intention to play with his son, Bronny James, who will register in the next NBA Draft and will debut in the next season as a professional in the best league in the world.
There are rumors that the Golden State Warriors could go after James this offseason, but ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne said that won’t be the organization’s priority.
«It’s probably not his main goal this summer. “They have other commercial objectives… They want to resolve the Klay Thompson situation,” the journalist explained. “James’ contract would be high and we don’t think they can handle that burden right now.”
It should be recalled that Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that the Warriors contacted the Lakers in February about a possible trade for James, who had expressed frustration over the Lakers’ poor play in the middle of the season.
The Lakers were once again eliminated by the Denver Nuggets, after beating them in the first round of the playoffs 4-1. Now James’ future is uncertain, although many suggest that the Lakers will take his son in the draft so that his father remains in the currency.
