LeBron’s extension now leaps forward to many questions. First is how the Lakers will deliver on such a massive commitment. With 2 seasons of the King guaranteed, it’s their job to give it their all. Putting up almost 30 points per night, Bron is still fired up. Massive pressure will fall on Russ and Anthony Davis. These two seasons will be pivotal in the history of the Lakers.
However, the biggest question is about LeBron’s future with Bronny. Promising to play alongside his son, the 17-year-old will enter the 2024 draft. With a player option for the season, James has the flexibility to join forces with his son. But what will happen if the Lakers win championships in these two seasons? While the answers aren’t written, it will be interesting to see what happens ahead.
