Wojnarowski also notes that LeBron will consider his future in the NBA one season at a time, hence the format of the contract. Moreover, there is no trade clause in the agreement.
LeBron had previously opted out of his contract to pursue a better deal from the Los Angeles team. It looks like he got what he bargained for.
In the new Lakers, LeBron will collaborate with close friend J. J. Redick, who will coach the team, and Bronny James, his son, who was selected in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Last season, the legend-in-the-making averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game.
