The Denver Nuggets eliminated Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers from the playoffs. The Lakers and LeBron threw everything they could at the defending champs, but it wasn’t enough. Two Jamal Murray game-winning shots later, and the Purple and Gold are on vacation. There is a lot of speculation around the franchise. Specifically, the future of one LeBron James. LeBron is 39, and there are several factors that will decide what he will do moving forward. Now, the King has responded to speculation about his decision-making, setting the record straight.
After the Lakers’ 4-1 series defeat at the hands of the Nuggets, LeBron was in no rush to make a decision. LeBron told reporters after the game, “I just want to get home to the family.” James stressed that getting back to his family, who have their own things going on, was the first thing on his mind. He continued, “Honestly, one of my boys is trying to decide if he’s going to enter the draft or go back to school. Another kid is playing AAU ball right now. My daughter is playing volleyball. My wife is doing so many great things. So it’s about family right now. Then, in a couple months, I got to go to Vegas for training camp. So I need to rest my body for (USA Basketball).” Now, he revealed when he will be ready to talk about his future.

James said he’ll sit down with everyone and talk about what’s next. On Tuesday night, in a series of tweets that followed intense rumors about his next move, the future Hall of Fame inductee reaffirmed that he’ll work things out after taking some time to relax. Last year, when the Nuggets swept the Lakers, James smiled and pointed toward retirement. His $51.4 million player option for the next season is the biggest question mark. Lebron will need to decide how to use it.
The Lakers are likely to be looking for a new head coach after reports that Darvin Ham will likely be fired. Los Angeles has also been rumored to be interested in drafting LeBron’s son Bronnuy in the 2024 draft. Drafting Bronny would ensure LeBron James stays with the Lakers for the rest of his contract. Lebron is still one of the best players in the league, but his career is winding down. Overall, we don’t know how much more LeBron we will see on the basketball court.
