MIAMI (AP) — All eyes in the NBA are on LeBron James, even amid a huge cycle of changes around the league. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Giannis Antetokounmpo got traded to Miami for Tyler Herro. Jaylen Brown got traded to Philadelphia for Paul George. Kawhi Leonard got traded back to Toronto, Ja Morant got traded to Portland, LaMelo Ball got traded to Minnesota and Dusty May left NCAA champion Michigan to coach Dallas.
There have been some huge moves in the NBA in the past few days. But everybody, it seems, is waiting for James — again.
“He’s still the face of the league,” James’ agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul said.
If there was any question about whether the league’s oldest active player is a free agent, there isn't now. James has several options: stay with the Lakers, move to another team, or retire. He turned 41 during the 2026 season and is still playing at a high level.
The Lakers are trying to keep him, but other teams are also interested. James' decision could affect the balance of power in the NBA.
