It has previously been reported that James would like to retire with the LA Lakers, one of the most successful franchises in league history. Given the recent developments, he might not retire as a Laker.
There have been several reactions to his comments. American TV journalist Rich Eisen said the Lakers will take a chance and give LeBron what he wants.
At 37 years old, James is still one of the best players in the league. Although his production will undoubtedly decline as he ages, his understanding of the game will help teams.
The LA Lakers are looking to LeBron James to deliver a record-setting 18th championship
The LA Lakers and Boston Celtics are tied for the most championships in league history with 17. LeBron James delivered championship No. 17 in 2020, and and he provides their best chance of winning another championship as soon as possible.
With the talent the Lakers have, they can make a postseason run if they figure things out with James leading the charge.
The Lakers (27-31), who are ninth in the Western Conference, will need to improve drastically to be considered championship contenders. While they have not been fully healthy at any point this season, their primary problem is the inability of their Big Three to gel.
Following an incredible All-Star performance, James will return without Anthony Davis, who sprained his foot in their last game against the Utah Jazz. LBJ is averaging 29.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.6 steals while shooting 52.2%.
