James: Doncic needs to make a decision for his future career. I can t stay here for long

May 3 News Recently, Lakers forward James talked about Doncic's prospects for renewal in an exclusive interview with ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin.

Sources said that since Doncic came to Los Angeles, James has been working hard to support him and will not try to influence Doncic's decision.

"No, it's not my job," James told ESPN, "I think... no, I'm sure, Luca knows what I think of him. Ultimately, that deal is for the future, that's not for me. Luca has to decide what he's going to do in the future. He's 26 and I'm 40, so he can't build his career on me. That's reality.

"But of course I hope (he can stay for a long time). Lakers fans love him so much here. Los Angeles has accepted him. We like him, treat him as a teammate and a brother. But in the end, he had to make a decision for himself. Damn, I can't stay here for long. ”
