LeBron James addresses uncertain Lakers future, retirement plans at NBA All-Star Game
NY Post
LeBron James has two things on his mind: His Los Angeles Lakers tenure and future retirement.
The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer, who is playing in and starting his 20th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, didn’t see his Lakers make any dramatic trade deadline upgrades despite seemingly wanting them with his hourglass emoji tweet, which has since been debunked publicly.
The Lakers did add former Nets standout Spencer Dinwiddie after the guard cleared waivers following the trade deadline, though.
James could opt out of his contract this summer, where he’d make $51.4 million next season.
With 26 games left, he has helped lead the Lakers to a 30-26 record, though they’re only ninth in the Western Conference and would be in the Play-In Tournament.
James told reporters prior to Sunday’s game he is unsure of what his future holds.
