The team led by Joel Embiid is looking for another star for the upcoming season, but it seems that will not be LeBron James.
LeBron James, considered by many as one of the greatest NBA player of all time, has a player option for one more season worth $51.4 million with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2024-2025 season, which would be his seventh with the team.
However, there have been rumors that he might want to play alongside his son, Bronny James, a shooting guard at USC who is expected to be a second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The veteran won’t lack suitors. Even at 39 years old, James is one of the most sought-after players who could enter the market this summer. He has maintained his scoring level and remains one of the best defensive players in the game.
LEBRON WILL REFUSE PHILADELPHIA TO STAY IN L.A
There are reports suggesting that the Philadelphia 76ers might try to convince LeBron James not to activate his player option with the Lakers and switch teams.
Brian Windhorst, an ESPN journalist, said that James will ultimately stay with Los Angeles, either by playing the final season of his current contract or by signing a new two-year deal. “The Sixers are a threat, but I don’t think they’re a serious threat,” said the well-known sports commentator.
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, stars of the 76ers, are looking for another key player to help them make a deep playoff run next season.
