The NBA superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James
NBA (DR)

While his contract expires this summer, LeBron James has still not activated his additional year with the Lakers.

This is why the insiders are trying to carry out the investigation by tracking down his every move.

The latest one has particularly attracted the attention of journalists and managers alike.

By being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Nuggets (4-1), the Lakers experienced great disillusionment given their stated ambitions.

After a period of drought since the title in 2020, and if we ignore the victory at the In-Season Tournament, the leaders have made it known that changes within the franchise are necessary. As such, Darvin Ham was dismissed from his coaching duties.

But while the Californians focus on creating a stronger squad, LeBron James could also leave the adventure in Los Angeles.

Since the Chosen One’s contract ends in 2024 with an optional additional year that it has not yet activated, a great deal of uncertainty remains around its future.

His various trips are therefore anything but trivial, as recently confirmed by insider Brian Windhorst:

Already a departure plan in mind for LeBron?

Brian Windhorst says several NBA executives were curious about LeBron’s activities after his visit to Cleveland last night: “The first thing I thought of was that moment ten years ago when LeBron s He was featured at a game in Cleveland, while playing for the Miami Heat, to honor the retirement of Zydrunas Ilgauskas, his longtime teammate. He had taken a private plane.

He then flew from Chicago to Cleveland on an evening off. Pat Riley was not happy.

A few months later, he signed with the Cavs… He’s extremely strategic and I wish I could tell you I know exactly what he’s doing.

I don’t pretend to know, but he’s definitely up to something. »

If we are to believe the words of Brian Windhorst, LeBron’s travels at the moment would not be trivial.

LBJ’s presence obviously did not go unnoticed during Game 4 between the Cavs and the Celtics this Monday. What if we saw a final comeback in the franchise that saw him take his first steps on the NBA floor, and with which he won the title in 2016?

For now, we can only speculate. But one thing is certain, this issue will still generate a lot of ink this summer.

LeBron James may be on vacation, but spies are lurking around him and trying to elucidate the mystery that represents his future. According to Brian Windhorst, it’s no coincidence that the superstar went to Cleveland. Will the kid from Ohio be back home for one last dance? Response in a few weeks, a priori.
