Shams: James is evaluating where his career ends. This is a critical moment between him and the Lakers

Today, the famous reporter Shams Charania reported on the ESPN program "SportsCenter" the current mentality of Lakers forward James.

Shams said: "Currently, LeBron James understands the Lakers prioritize the future of building a team around Doncic. He knows they will be younger at different nodes. Currently, they do prioritize a two-year contract. They want to have the largest cap space in 2027. But from his perspective, at his career stage and the age of 40 to 41, he wants to compete for the championship, no matter where he is, whether in Los Angeles. Or where other times will be discussed. Robert Pelinka is currently active, and they are trying to sign a center from the free market, which may also bring some wing depth. LeBron is evaluating the progress of these operations very closely and where the end of his career will be, whether he has a year, two or three years left.

"What we're seeing now is actually a crucial moment between LeBron James and the Lakers. ”
