The future of LeBron James is currently uncertain, as there is speculation that he could retire from the NBA, re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, or even sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers for next season. As the rumors gained momentum, franchise governor Jenny Buss considered James’ future.
Buss, who is 64, claimed the Lakers’ sale to Mark Walter allows the organization to focus on building around Luka Doncic instead of LeBron James, according to CNBC’s Alex Sherman. LA has found its new superstar, and the franchise is working on landing the 27-year-old guard soon.
“The partnership will provide us with the stability we need to build a team around Donsey as we move forward,” Buss said. “We couldn’t be more proud that he’s a Laker. He’s a young All-Star that fans love to watch.”
This leaves James essentially making up his mind about what he wants to do next season. Jenny Buss claimed that a return to the Lakers is still a possibility. However, it seems like Buss and the organization are going to allow the 41-year-old forward to make his own decision.
“Never say never, but you know, he certainly hasn’t given any indication,” Buss said of James. “He’s earned the right to decide what his career will be like, and you know, he’s continuing to impress.”
Although he has only played 36 games so far this season, LeBron James is still playing at a high level. The four-time NBA champion remains one of the preferred options for the Lakers when he is on the court, averaging 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, while shooting 50.2% from the field and 30.5% from beyond the three-point line.
