Team Note: Whenever you have the opportunity to go to other teams, James will choose to stay with the Lakers

According to the article written by The Athletic reporter Dan Woike, a fan's question, "Will this be LeBron James' last year with the Lakers? Is the Lakers' lineup capable of going far in the playoffs? In addition, do you think LeBron James will retire as a Lakers player?"

Dan Woike said, I think few people know what LeBron James thinks about his future. At his age, just preparing for the upcoming NBA season requires enough physical and mental energy to invest in his or her physical energy and he has no time to worry about when his career will end.

Here is what we know - James has one year left on his contract with the Lakers and his salary is close to his maximum salary (he cut his salary slightly last summer). He has non-tradeable terms and chooses to execute the contract and stays on the team. I think there are still many questions to answer about how he and Luka Doncic perform as a championship team, which may be important enough to make him not rush to make any major decisions for next summer. There is no doubt that it is a bit strange to put a player who is still at the All-Star level in a contract year.

There are signs that James will attend training camp at the end of September and start his 23rd NBA season with the Lakers. But I really don't want to guess, whether it's basis or not, how James thinks about his future (whether as a Lakers or NBA player). Again, I just know that whenever I have the chance to go to other teams, James chooses to stay in the Purple and Gold Army every time.
