LeBron James may have the freedom to test the waters of free agency this summer, but all signs point to the King staying put in Los Angeles. The four-time NBA champion and all-time leading scorer holds a player option for the 2025-26 season, yet insiders suggest the likelihood of him leaving the Lakers is slim to none.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, LeBron is still heavily invested in the Lakers, both on the court and in his personal life. “His priority is to be a Laker and to live in Los Angeles,” Windhorst said during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show. While the team’s long-term direction may now revolve around Luka Doncic,James‘ loyalty to the franchise seems unchanged.
LeBron James reflects on his 22nd year in NBA
Unless the Lakers give him a reason to reconsider, something Windhorst called highly unlikely, the 40-year-old superstar appears set to continue his tenure in L.A., where his son Bronny James is also expected to begin his NBA journey.
Bronny’s arrival and Luka’s presence seal the deal
Top Plays of the Day, 5/18/2025
The Lakers‘ roster outlook could be a key factor in LeBron’s decision. With 26-year-old Luka Doncic poised to lead the team’s next era and Bronny James potentially joining the squad, the stars are aligning for a family affair in Los Angeles.
LeBron has made it clear in the past that playing alongside his son would be a dream come true. That opportunity, coupled with the Lakers‘ evolving core, gives him little reason to explore other teams.
Still elite at 40, despite playoff setback
Even as he approaches his 41st birthday in December, LeBron remains one of the most productive players in the league. In the 2024-25 regular season, he averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists over 70 games. Despite a knee injury in the postseason, he elevated his play in the Lakers‘ first-round series loss to the Timberwolves, posting 25.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals per game.
James‘ legacy is firmly cemented, but he’s not done writing chapters in it. And if the latest reports are any indication, the next one will be written in Los Angeles, not anywhere else.

NFL Panic Meter: Packers’ championship dreams might be done after Micah Parsons’ injury
After last season ended well short of a Super Bowl, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke of the franchise operating with more urgency."I think it's time that we start competing for championships, right?" Gutekunst said, via NFL.com.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat's why the Packers traded for Micah Parsons. It was a push to going from good to great. And Parsons transformed the Packers defense with his 12.5 sacks.And now, with Parsons done for the season with a torn ACL, the worry has to be that the Packers go from a potentially great season and revert to being good.The Packers aren't going to go away without Parsons. There's still a lot of talent. But Super Bowl dreams are much less realistic without their best player, and one of the best players in the entire NFL. Even beating the Chicago Bears for the NFC […]
Grading all 32 first-round rookies after Week 15
Abdul Carter finished Week 15 as the Giants' highest-graded player: He tallied five defensive stops and four pressures, including a strip sack. Carter also forced a fumble with just under three minutes remaining in the game, which gave New York a chance to put together a game-tying drive. Colston Loveland has become an important weapon in Chicago: He earned an outstanding 89.7 PFF receiving grade in the Bears’ lopsided victory over the Browns.
