LeBron James is widely expected to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers beyond the upcoming NBA free agency period, according to growing sentiment around the league. With fewer than two weeks remaining before free agency officially opens, reports suggest there is increasing confidence that the four-time NBA champion will agree a new deal to continue his tenure in Los Angeles.
Speaking on ESPN's 'NBA Today' programme on Wednesday, veteran NBA insider Marc J. Spears indicated that league sources believe James is likely to stay with the Lakers rather than test the open market.
