LeBron James has began his farewell seasons but will it be done with the Los Angeles Lakers is the biggest question. Over the last season, the team had failed to meet expectations with their veteran roster. They were led out of playoff contention simply they have no chemistry or healthy and reliable players.
Anthony Davis had injured himself twice during the season with the second being much worse. AD happened to be a defensive stronghold for the team and contributed an above averaged score to the table. The player might be the key reason to another championship but he will be required to stay healthy and play clean.

During the initial phase of the off-season, it was a challenge trying to figure out a way to replace Russell Westbrook. The Lakers came in contact with the Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs but neither team could meet the demands of the each other. It was said that the Davis and Russ had a conversation with big brother LeBron James only to come to an agreement of playing another season together.
The former league MVP and all-time leader in triple-doubles had opted in for his one-year extension worth $47 million. New acquired head coach Darvin Ham claims that he has put up several plans for the team to be able to grab the title. However, he made a strict demand from his players saying he wanted them all the to be fully committed and the ones who are not, to walk out.
Shannon Sharpe explains why LeBron James did not sign his extension
LeBron James will be eligible to sign a two-year extension with the team on August 4, 2022. This contract will be exercised following the 2022-23 season up until 2025. Bron has not signed the offer yet to which sports analyst Shannon Sharpe believes he may want the Lakers to convince him.“When you get LeBron James, you know what the stakes are. … ‘Look, you already wasted one of my years, you wasted one.'”
‘”I gave you a grace period ‘cause when I first signed here I didn’t say you had to make any other move. I played with what we had. You didn’t make any move.’ He played with the kids. ‘Hey, I’m done with that.’ This is the only leverage LeBron has. I think, deep down inside, I don’t think LeBron believes this is a championship-contending team as is currently constructed.”
