LeBron James is making it official: He’s coming back for a record-tying 22nd season in the NBA, one where the league’s all-time scoring leader could share the floor with his son Bronny as teammates with the Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron has agreed to a two-year contract to remain with the Lakers, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said Wednesday. The second year of the deal is at James’ option and means he could become a free agent again next summer, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced publicly.
ESPN reported that the Lakers and LeBron’s agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, may agree on a salary slightly less than the max that LeBron could have gotten — a move that could keep the team from reaching the second apron and preserve some roster flexibility going forward.
