The Los Angeles Lakers may already be counting down the days until LeBron James leaves the franchise and retires, but the 38-year-old has been linked with a sensational trade to Golden State Warriors.
James' contract with the Lakers runs through the 2023/24 season, although he could extend his stay until 2025 if he elects to take a player option with the franchise. James teased retirement after the Lakers were swept 4-0 in the Western Conference finals series against the Denver Nuggets, but it's unlikely he will call time on his NBA career just yet due to a list of factors including the opportunity to play with his son, Bronny James.
But if James does continue his NBA adventure that doesn't mean his future will continue with the Lakers. According to The Ringer, there's a possibility that James could join Golden State Warriors and finally link-up with good friend Draymond Green.
