Lakers, LeBron James

The Los Angeles Lakers had a clear priority going into free agency: to find a rim-protecting, lob-threat center — and that’s exactly what they got last week, signing 26-year-old and 2018 No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton to a two-year deal.
The decision from LeBron James earlier this summer to pick up his player option for next season from the Los Angeles Lakers came with an important caveat from agent Rich Paul — the four-time NBA MVP wants the chance to win another championship before his career comes to an end.
According to an NBA source, the Los Angeles Lakers' 20-year-old guard will be involved in another historic event.
Throughout his NBA career, Lance Stephenson employed various unusual tactics to throw his opponents off their game, but one moment stands out above the rest.
LeBron James accomplished one of his stated career goals last season, and it was perhaps one of his most impressive. In his 22nd season, James was able to suit up and play alongside his son, Bronny, for the Los Angeles Lakers. And after picking up his player option last week it seems James will do so again in the 2025–26 campaign.
The Lakers are still figuring out what to do with LeBron James. In this proposed deal they send him to Cleveland for one last homecoming while also building for Luka Doncic's future in LA.
