All signs suggest that the new season may be James last dance

Although he has entered his forties, James will still be the focus every offseason. In comparison, James seems a little too quiet this summer. Although Ritchie Paul, who was James' agent, released an intriguing statement, news about James's purchase or applying for a deal was proved false during the summer league. Siegel, a famous reporter of the US media "ClutchPoints", wrote an article saying that the 2025-26 season may be the last dance of the legendary star's career.

These abnormal signs include, but are not limited to, James enjoys vacationing with his family throughout the offseason, and devotes a lot of his energy to laying out his own business territory. The former James was known as "Manager Zhan", and the team will fully listen to his recruitment opinions. According to relevant reports, this summer, the Lakers have invited Lopez and Smart to come to Doncic, and Dongzi also came out to recruit him personally. On the other hand, James completely retreated behind the scenes and had no control over the team in the past.

At the same time, James spared no effort to expand his business territory. He is very close to the e-commerce oligarch Amazon, and he is likely to join Amazon's commentary group after retirement. Among the fans, there is a joke that LeBron is a "big dream chasing" circulating. Teacher Green carefully runs his talk show to pave the way after retirement. As the ultimate plus version of chasing dreams, James will definitely make clear arrangements for his future career. James even actively discussed the plan to form a Las Vegas team and become a shareholder. After all, the market value of NBA teams has increased in recent years. He also wanted to follow Jordan's gorgeous turn from a worker to a boss.

In addition to this, there are some details that can also be seen. James, who is used to signing 1+1 contracts and keeps his destiny firmly in his hands, chose the option of executing the player this summer for the first time; and James also revealed in an interview that his wife Savannah clearly hopes that he will retire in 2026. He has always been a family member and will definitely seriously consider his family's feelings and proposals. Another point is that James once said that he would retire after playing for 23 seasons, because the number 23 has a strong significance to Jordan and him, and is a common iconic symbol between the two.

So, Siegel said that James is likely to regard the 2025-26 season as the last season of his career. What is more abnormal is that if the new season is really James' last dance, then is James' performance too deserted compared to the sensational scenes of Kobe's retirement tour? In this regard, Siegel also revealed an important information that if James decides to retire in 2026, he will announce the news in August. At that time, everyone will know the final choice of this star. In your opinion, will James, who still has oil in the fuel tank, return to the field and put the horse in the south?
