LeBron James, eliminated with the Los Angeles Lakers by Denver in the first round of the play-offs on Monday (4-1), saw his 21st NBA season end quickly, raising the question of the future of the “King”, at 39 years.
At least this year, the Lakers avoided the humiliation of a sweep (“sweep” in the NBA) by the Denver Nuggets. After the Western Conference final in 2023 lost 4-0, the exit was indicated to them a month earlier this year by the Colorado franchise, in the first round of the final phase (4-1). In 17 qualifiers for the play-offs, this is only the second time that LeBron James has been eliminated in the first round.
Last year, the superstar, who has been in the NBA since 2003, cast doubt on the rest of his career. None of that this year, even if he remained vague about his desires. “I prefer not to answer,” he said at a press conference, when asked about the possibility that he had played his last game with the Lakers.
LeBron James already knows that he will at least play basketball again this summer, with the star-spangled jersey of the United States, as leader of a new “dream team” at the Paris Olympic Games (July 26-August 11), after having already won two gold medals (2008 and 2012).
As such, James has an appointment for the “Team USA” training camp on July 6 in Las Vegas, before preparation matches in Abu Dhabi then London.
In the NBA, the “King” has with his current contract a $51.4 million option (around 48 million euros) that he can activate until June 29 with the Lakers for the 2024-2025 season, or conversely become a “free agent”, to sign with another franchise.
This living basketball legend had highlighted his dream of playing in the NBA with his son Bronny James Jr. The latter, after a difficult year athletically at the University of Southern California (USC), enrolled in the 2024 draft (June 26 and 27), while remaining eligible for an additional academic year. “In the end, the kid will do what he wants - I say kid but he's a young man now -, he will decide the path to take with his career,” said his father.
If LeBron James stays with the Lakers, the franchise will have to change the squad around him and Anthony Davis. “For the trade deadline (in February) we only had one first round draft (to trade). This summer, at the time of the draft, we will have three first rounds to propose exchanges,” Lakers director Rob Pelinka indicated at the end of the regular season.
Champions in 2020 in the Orlando Covid bubble, the Angelinos remain in two complicated exercises, with a passage through the perilous dams, despite a great victory during the new NBA Cup in December.
