We all know in all likelihood he's back with the Lakers. It will just depend on the structure of a deal - two years, three years, perhaps - after he opts out.
Opting out will also give James more control over what happens with the Lakers. If he doesn't like the head coaching situation or doesn't feel the team is doing enough to win, he can walk away and not have to deal with it.
