Lebron James’ statement during the all-star week of joining the team where ever his son Bronny gets drafted created a lot of fuss among the fans, as some assumed that he wants to leave the Lakers franchise after their worst performance in the season. But the things seem to be different as he clarified that he wants to stay with the purple and golds.
On Friday, the Lakers were back into their full squad after the all-star week hoping to win the games to improve their standings in the western conference.

LeBron James clarifies on his statement regarding joining the team whichever drafts Bronny
LeBron showed up to the postgame interview while knowing that he has to answer some tough questions for his statement during the all-star week which misled many people. Lebron when asked about it he said(via clutchpoint), “I don’t understand how some of my comments over the weekend were taken to a whole different area … I never said I could see myself playing in a Cavaliers uniform. I talked to Jason Lloyd and he asked me, and I said, ‘Well, I don’t know what tomorrow holds.“
“And then things about my son, me wanting to play with my son wherever he’s at — You guys take my words and just twist them to different places where they shouldn’t go.“

Does LeBron James want to continue his association with the Lakers?
When the King was asked whether he sees himself playing with the Lakers beyond his current contract, he replied, “This is a franchise I see myself being with.”
Further, he added, “I’m here. I’m here. I see myself being with the purple and gold as long as I can play. But also, I have a goal that if it’s possible, and I don’t even know if it’s possible, but if I can play with my son, I would love to do that… That’s like the coolest thing that could possibly happen. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be with this franchise.”
LeBron will soon get a chance to extend his contract for two years with the Lakers (including a player option), with $97.1 million on Aug. 4. If he refuses to sign the deal he will be in the free agency for the 2022-23 NBA season and can sign with any team he wants to be with.
