LeBron James Undecided On Player Option For Next Season 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue May 21, 2024 1:59 pm

LeBron James is keeping his options open ahead of free agency. James remains undecided on whether he'll pick up his $51.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season, or if he'll enter unrestricted free agency.


The Lakers star is still considering the path he wants to take moving forward. James is expected to play up to two more seasons.


In recent weeks, James has distanced himself from the idea that he wants to play on the same team as son Bronny, who is an Early Entry Candidate for the 2024 NBA Draft. That hasn't stopped speculation that teams may draft Bronny James as a way to entice his father to sign with them as a free agent this summer.

LeBron reversing his word on a commitment? I’m shocked!

Lebron does this every year to create drama. Last year he apparently didn’t know if he was retiring or not. It’s all bs, he’s staying in LA. The guy just loves some attention since he’s not getting it on the court anymore.

Once his pal JJ gets the job, he’ll either pick up the option or sign a 1-and-1.
