The question of which franchise LeBron James plans to play for in his final year in the NBA has been a looming topic in recent weeks. Just last week, James made it very clear that he intends to play his final NBA season with his son Bronny.
After the Los Angeles Lakers lost 105-102 to the Los Angeles Clippers, James made an comment that solidified his loyalty to the Lakers,
“This is a franchise I see myself being with. I’m here. I’m here. I see myself being with the purple and gold as long as I can play.”
When asked about his goal to also play with Bronny in his final season, by all means necessary, he responded, “I also have a goal that, if it’s possible — I don’t even know if it’s possible — that if I can play with my son, I would love to do that.” He also added, “Is that, like, something that any man shouldn’t want that in life? That’s like the coolest thing that could possibly happen. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be with this franchise.”
It still remains to be seen how Bronny will grow as a player in the next two years before his draft prospect and how it will impact James’ free agency and next contracts. There is still no word on when James plans to retire, however, it seems that it is a possibility in the next few years. The Lakers currently hold a 27-33 record and are ninth in the Western Conference.
