Why is the Lakers still worth providing him with a contract renewal contract?

It is reported that the early renewal of the Lakers and James has been basically confirmed. The Lakers will provide the 40-year-old veteran with a two-year total value of US$128 million, including the transaction veto.

LeBron James, a player who has been fighting against the old man of time, finally showed the fatigue he should have at the age of 40 last season. Especially in the playoffs, facing the Timberwolves, a young and motivated team! LeBron's efficiency in the playoffs last season was significantly reduced. Especially in the fourth game, the second half was played, and there was no point in the last quarter! Especially after playing time for more than 40 minutes, James' efficiency has dropped significantly! So what is the reason why the Lakers' management still chooses to provide it with a contract renewal of over $100 million in two years?

First of all, LeBron James' future Hall of Fame-level star. The influence of his every move is unquestionable. If James follows Kobe's example, he will hold a retirement tour. Then the benefits to the Lakers are huge. Kobe's retirement tour brought $600 million in value to the Lakers!

followed by the legendary team of the Lakers. The Lakers are the player with the most All-Stars in the NBA. If the Lakers can retire LeBron here, they will give this legendary player a touch of color!
