On November 1, ESPN famous reporter Shams said on the show that James has no final decision about the future and may leave the Lakers as long as he continues to play. Shams also said that the futures of Antetokounmpo and Trae Young are worthy of attention.


Lakers star James is recuperating due to sciatica and is expected to return in mid-November. So far this season, James has not played in a game. Talking about James' future, famous reporter Shams said: We still don't know where James will go in the future. Everything is up in the air, and even he himself is undecided. Staying with the Lakers is certainly a possible option, but don't forget - he will become a free agent next summer.
This offseason, James executed the player option worth $52.6 million in his contract for the 2025-26 season, and he will become a free agent next summer.

When asked about the whereabouts of players worth paying attention to, Shams said: Giannis (Antetokounmpo), Trae Young, I think we need to pay attention to their situation. They did not renew Trae Young's contract during the offseason. He has one year left on his contract. If he opts out of the contract, he will become a free agent next year. He can stay in Atlanta, but there will be a market for him, and we are talking about Trae Young here.
continued: So, Giannis and Trae Young, there are always players coming up as the season goes on. And we still don’t know where LeBron James will be. Will he end his career with the Lakers? Or go elsewhere? I think the outlook is very much up in the air. I'm not sure he knows exactly how his career is going to end. Will it end with the Lakers? Sure, but he'll be a free agent at the end of the season, so if he continues to play, there's obviously a chance he'll join another team.

Talking about Antetokounmpo's situation, Shams said: For two weeks, both the Knicks and Bucks knew clearly that Antetokounmpo wanted to play in New York. The two parties negotiated and made offers. Although no deal was reached in the end, the Knicks did their best to get him.
Antetokounmpo once publicly revealed the rumor: Who said that? I represent my team. That's it, we beat the Knicks. That's all that matters now, I didn't read the article, I tried to ignore the rumors, it doesn't matter to me at all.
