James is in a dilemma, revealing that James renews his contract and signs 1+1 by the Lakers, the boss s statement is intriguing

As we all know, during this summer offseason, James, who is already over 40, has had a very unpleasant fight with the Lakers. Although the outside world has repeatedly revealed that James wants to continue to stay in the Lakers as the big brother, the Lakers' management seems to turn a blind eye to this and has no statement at all.

Industry insiders are speculating that the Lakers should want to straighten Doncic in the new season, and it is estimated that Doncic will be the core of the championship in the future. After all, James is old, and it is okay to stay in the team with a relatively low annual salary as a veteran, but it seems unrealistic to still get the high-standard treatment he was in the past.

Now, foreign media have exposed the details of James's initial desire to renew his contract with the Lakers. From this, we can see that this time James really feels like he is in a dilemma. The hero Chi Mu seems to be destined to be neglected.

It is understood that James' contract will expire next summer, and he can only play for the Lakers for another season. Under such circumstances, James had to renew his contract with the Lakers in advance and sign a one-plus-1 contract again, with the second year being the player option, but the Lakers did not respond to the requirements of James' team. This means that if James and the Lakers have not made a decision until next summer, James will likely leave the Lakers.

What is interesting is that in an interview a few days ago, Lakers general manager Pecalin also specifically mentioned James. He expressed his great hope that James would retire as a Lakers player and hoped that he could stay with the Lakers. But at the same time, Pecalin also added that he would respect James in the end and let him decide his future and how long he would continue to play in the NBA.

The Lakers general manager's words naturally triggered speculation from the outside world. Some fans speculated whether Pekalin's words meant: they and James had not yet negotiated a related contract? Because if the two sides have agreed, the general manager should know whether James will stay with the Lakers in the future and eventually choose to retire here.

Now that Pecalin says respecting James' rights, there seems to be another interpretation, that is, if James really wants to choose to take action, they will choose to respect him. These words make people feel a little lukewarm. After all, if James is in his peak state, the Lakers' management may have kept him at all costs, rather than saying that it doesn't seem like he's trying to keep him in this situation.

Of course, we are not sure whether James will continue to stay with the Lakers in the end. I believe that with the arrival of the new season, the results of everything will be decided soon.
