James wants to stay with the Lakers and will not explore the deal or buy it out

LeBron James had a lot of trading rumors in 2025, but he did not respond to these questions positively. He enjoyed his vacation and left the rest of the problems to the agent. LeBron James now doesn't seem to go to other teams, at least not now.

According to US media Dan Walker and Joe Wharton James, they have not yet received any news about the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James, buying out or dealing. In other words, neither the Lakers nor LeBron James really want to part ways with each other.

"There is no sign that any team has held such talks, all signs pointing to James reporting to the NBA training camp before the 2025-26 season. The 40-year-old superstar, who recently chose to enter his last year of $52.6 million in his $52.6 million deal, is expected to wear a purple gold jersey this fall."

LeBron James, after choosing the $52.6 million player option, means that he has not reached a temporary contract renewal agreement with the Lakers. It is reported that LeBron James asked to renew a contract with the Lakers for a multi-year contract, but the Lakers directly refused. However, according to subsequent reports, LeBron James and the Lakers have never communicated with each other on contract renewal and buyout. The reliable information released by

is that LeBron and James are dissatisfied with the Lakers' reinforcement plan and are a little confused about his future. I don’t know whether to stay in the Lakers or join a top team that can help me win the championship.

In fact, LeBron James' trading rumors originated from his agent Ritchie Paul, who publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Lakers' management. Ricci Paul expressed his hope that the Lakers can continue to strengthen around LeBron and James, otherwise, LeBron and James may leave the Lakers.

In fact, LeBron James doesn't want to leave the Lakers. His eldest son, Bronny James, plays in the Los Angeles Lakers. Brownie James has three seasons left in his contract, and LeBron James may continue to tolerate his son Brownie James. Otherwise, the day when I had a quarrel with the Lakers management was when Bronny James was unemployed.

Of course, let's not forget that LeBron James has the right to veto the transaction, and the Lakers have no right to take the initiative to trade and send LeBron James away. So, what the Lakers can do may be cold violence LeBron James, who asked him to take the initiative to apply to leave the team. Otherwise, stay in the Lakers obediently, become the second leader of the team, and assist Luka Doncic.
