LeBron James has been the talk of the NBA offseason over the last couple of weeks. As his situation with the Los Angeles Lakers continues to develop, things have gotten very strange between the two parties.

Speculation over LeBron James’ future has intensified as he enters his 23rd NBA season. The 40-year-old opted into his $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season, marking the first time during his Los Angeles Lakers tenure that he didn’t sign a multi-year extension when faced with the ability to do so.

Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor feels that the NBA will get a heads up before LeBron James retires because the Los Angeles Lakers star will want to end his playing career with a "farewell tour."
