See myself with LA Lakers for as long as I can play: LeBron James

 

In the recent past, there have been multiple reports that LeBron James can move to a different team in the next season of the NBA. James is currently in the first of two-year contract with the LA Lakers. The linchpin had signed an $85 million contract with the Lakers and he won’t be a free agent until the 2023-24 season.

In fact, James had recently said that the doors are not closed for his return to Cleveland Cavaliers and he would want to play his swansong season with his son, Bronny James. However, James has cleared the air he will play for Los Angeles Lakers for as long as he can.

“This is a franchise I see myself being with. I’m here. I’m here,” James said after the Lakers’ 105-102 loss to the LA Clippers. “I see myself being with the purple and gold as long as I can play.”

“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,” said James, 37. “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.”

Meanwhile, James had turned 37 last December and he is still going strong as far as his fitness is concerned. James is playing his 19th NBA season currently and he has been the star performer for the Lakers.

James added that his role at the LA Lakers is that of a player and he leaves the other decisions to the team management.

“I don’t push the buttons,” James said. “They ask for my opinion, and I voice my opinion and what I believe. But I don’t press any buttons. That’s what our front office is for, and that’s what our leadership group is for. “I don’t press no buttons. So we can state that right now.”

LA Lakers will next face New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.
