October 2 News Recently, Skip talked about the current situation that James will face the "contract year" in his channel "TheSkipBaylessShow".

He said: "LeBron James is doing this now, which is equivalent to saying to the Lakers 'Go to you'. Look at it, he is sending some subtle signals, such as he said, 'I will prepare for the new season very carefully, and I will be extra careful in the way of training'."

"He is actually saying: If you give me a few more years of guarantee on the contract, I would have done my best, but now I won't be so devoted because I know I'm about to leave. So, he gave some hints in advance, meaning that he had given all his money for the team in the past. , but it won't be like this in the future. He will play more easily in the new season because he knows there is a brighter future waiting for him. "

"I think this is interesting because the Lakers may have hoped or even expected that they would see a more motivated LeBron to prove that the team has taken a look. But now LeBron's response is 'no'. However, he must also show a high enough competitive level to ensure that he can still have more than $50 million in the free market after the end of this year's contract."
