Shams: James wants to compete for the championship next season He is uncertain about the Lakers lineup and is evaluating the future 👀

Today, according to famous reporter Shams Charania, Lakers forward James will execute his contract for the 23rd season of the 2025-26 season, and compete for his 23rd season of his career.

Then, according to Shams's additional report on the TV show, James is evaluating his future with the Lakers.

Shams said: "We do know that he will play in his record-breaking 23rd season, and it's still uncertain whether he has one season left or multiple seasons left. But I was told that he wants to compete for the championship next season, and he's not sure about the Lakers' next roster. From my understanding, James supports the Lakers' team building around Doncic and the future. Klutch Sports Agency CEO Ricky Paul told me this morning that the Lakers are already his and James' true partner for seven seasons, but he also told me that they understand that the team will make the decision that is most beneficial to the long-term. This adds a new layer of variables to the free agent market, and LeBron James is evaluating how he wants to end his career."
