LeBron James has yet to decide his future and has not confirmed whether he will play one more year with the Los Angeles Lakers or seek other destinations.
The NBA icon has the option to exercise his player option in his contract and collect $52.6 million during the 2025-26 season. However, his renown and talent makes his options not scarce if he wanted to change teams.
King James is entering his 23rd season at age 40. And for him, age is just another number.
However, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA icon is determined to get revenge after being eliminated early from the Playoffs. His next goal? To compete for one more championship.
However, he knows his limitations and made no secret of them when he spoke with Kevin Durant and Steve Nash as they took to the microphones for the “Mind The Game” podcast.

Being aware of this, James shared that just as he put effort into improving his three-point shot as well, he has also worked hard to try to improve his right-handed game to be an even more complete and competitive player for the team.

Despite being quickly eliminated from the Playoffs, his previous season provided plenty to talk about. He averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game with the Lakers.
In addition, he shared the court with his son, Bronny, and received Luka Doncic with whom he formed a great duo. Despite the uncertainty of his future, only time will tell how many seasons and games King James has left.
