LeBron James intends to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers beyond the impending trade deadline, solidifying a new partnership with Luka Doncic, recently acquired in a trade. Having signed a two-year extension with the Lakers, James expressed his desire to finish his career in Los Angeles. Although there was prior interest from the Golden State Warriors for a potential trade, James reaffirmed his commitment to the Lakers. His excitement about playing alongside Doncic adds a new dynamic to the team's future prospects, especially given his goal of a 23rd NBA season in 2025-26.
James stated, 'I am a Laker and I'm happy and been very happy being a Laker the last six years and hopefully it stays that way.'
James was surprised by the news of Doncic being traded, learning of the blockbuster deal while dining with family after a win against the Knicks.
