NBA executive: The Lakers have not announced the option of James to execute. This is very strange
9:00am, 11 July 2025【Basketball】
July 11th LeBron James chose to execute his $52.6 million player option with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2025-26 season. However, the Lakers have not officially announced the decision.
A senior NBA executive said in an interview with Hoops Wire that the matter was "very strange".
The senior official said: "Yes, usually when a star player like LeBron chooses the option to execute a contract, the team will announce the news immediately. I think it's very strange. Something must have happened behind it. While the likelihood of LeBron being traded is very low because his salary is too high. But I think there is a disagreement between LeBron and Lakers management. They are not doing well in the offseason, and there are rumors that Robert (Pellinka) is saving cap space for 2027. It's silly to do this when you have players like LeBron and Luca."
