The rumors have been confirmed: LeBron James is officially leaving the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons. The forward has already informed the management that he will not be staying for the next year. Golden State Warriors are considered the main contenders to sign the legend, where he could potentially team up with Stephen Curry.
The Lakers released a statement saying, “LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes in history. We are grateful for eight years with the Lakers, including the 2020 championship and countless records. He will forever remain a part of our family.”
For the California-based team, this presents an opportunity to rebuild around Luka Dončić, freeing up significant salary cap space. LeBron himself is preparing for his 24th NBA season and has no plans to retire.
