According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst, LeBron James will likely opt out of his current deal with the Lakers. James is set to make $51.4 million in a player option with Los Angeles in 2024-25. It's not about the money at this point in his career. Windhorst details how it's a no-trade clause that James might be seeking.
Rumors of James leaving the Lakers mid-season happened in 2023-24. The veteran forward wants assurance that the Lakers will not move him if he opts out of his current deal. That doesn't mean that James will not re-sign with the Lakers. A no-trade clause would give James the security he needs.
