If there was ever any doubt, LeBron James will be a Laker next season. He extended his contract for two more years and $101 million, which may seem expensive for a veteran who is almost 40 years old.
Owner Jeanie Buss was blunt on the matter.
As crazy as it may seem, LeBron James will begin his 22nd season in the NBA, a season during which he will blow out his 40th candle! And unlike Michael Jordan, who wore the Wizards jersey at that age, the King has never had a sabbatical year to regain his strength. Since 2003, he has given 100%.
So what can we expect for LBJ and his teammates after a dismal elimination in the first round of the playoffs? Unfortunately for the fans, probably not much.
For his first season on the franchise bench, JJ Redick will have to deal with an almost unchanged roster, except for the signing of a few rookies like Bronny, Dalton Knecht and Frenchman Armel Traoré.
LeBron James not paid enough by the Lakers?!
For some, the fault lies with management incapable of sensing the good moves on the market. For others, LeBron James deserves criticism for his refusal to lower his salary expectations.
He will receive $101 million over the next two seasons, but for the boss Jeanie Buss, it is an excellent deal, even for a player on the verge of forty. She spoke on a local radio station.

LeBron James is such a great competitor, if he really wants to participate in the Olympic Games I can’t worry about him.
We have always been supportive of our players and we have always respected their decision to play in the national team or not.
Yes, he is our highest paid player, but for me his salary is a good deal.
Yes, LeBron James will take nearly 50 million over the upcoming season, which does not give his managers much financial flexibility.
But according to Jeanie Buss, this sum would not be representative of the King’s talent and especially of his importance in the squad.
When we see his Olympic Games, we can say that he will justify the investment on the field.
At almost 40 years old, LeBron James remains one of the best players in the NBA, and therefore one of the highest paid.
And for Jeanie Buss, the King’s two-year extension of 101 million would not yet be enough to fairly reward his contribution.
