Will he announce that this is his last season before the season starts, or will he continue playing in 2026-27?

Hope he continues for a couple more seasons at least. I mean, the guy was All-NBA last season.

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

The better question is, if Lebron has a near elite season, do you re-sign him to 1 more big money season, or just let him walk if he refuses to take a paycut. Gotta find Luka's perfect running mate sooner rather than later.

You can't keep paying that dough to him unless this year ends up with a chip... so I do think he plays one more year and it won't be with us unless we have a path to a 2nd straight chip and keeping the cast that did it. I would predict he plays one more season for someone else chasing a ring ( would not even diss him for that) and I'll be highly uninterested in his journey. I'm more interested in Bronny's at this point.

He was an all-star and an all-nba 2nd team last season and i think he's likely to play as long as he can keep up current level of play.

He’ll keep playing but not for the lakers…. They’re doing everything but drive him to the airport right now with all the leaks about their plans for him leaving etc…. I think he’ll demand a trade after the season starts and get moved before the deadline…
He’ll actually play until he can own the team in Vegas
Never have rice at Hanzo's house...
