After being connected to the Los Angeles Lakers for a long time, 37-year-old veteran center Brook Lopez signed a free-agent contract with the LA Clippers, their city rivals.

Lopez’s concern is not wrong, as James’ future at the moment is uncertain with the Lakers. James opting into the $52.6 million player option also sends an interesting message towards the Lakers’ rivals currently in the offseason.

And also, with Rich Paul’s comments about James recently, it remains to be seen how this matter unfolds. For now, it does not seem as if James would leave the Lakers with Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves besides him, but anything can happen in the NBA.
