BREAKING: ‘This Is Over” Kevin Durant’s Playoff Success In His 30s Highlights LeBron James Move For Championship Opportunities Elsewhere

The Los Angeles Lakers could use LeBron James this season to make a serious run in the playoffs.

The recent games, like Tuesday”s, highlight something important: the Lakers might be able to hold their own even if LeBron decides to move on.

LeBron is a phenomenal player, but reports suggest he”s eyeing a huge contract worth over $100 million spanning multiple seasons. That”s a hefty amount, especially considering he”ll be in his 40s. There”s a risk in investing so much in someone getting up there in age.

“Kevin Durant, in his 30s, has played 11 minutes past Round 2. LeBron [James] has left because he thought, ‘This is over. I need to be able to win elsewhere.’” — Nick Wright

Throughout his career, LeBron usually got what he wanted from his teams. But now, things have flipped. The Lakers have the upper hand. LeBron doesn”t have many other options.

He could go to another team or maybe even take a pay cut. But $100 million deals aren”t easy to get. Plus, most teams with money to spare this summer aren”t top contenders. LeBron”s likely more interested in winning another title or playing alongside his son than cashing in with a struggling squad.

This puts the Lakers in a strong position. They know they”re not entirely dependent on LeBron for their future success. Having him around would be great, no doubt. But they don”t have to twist themselves into knots to keep him happy.
