League executive: James has never switched teams midway through the season Will he really make an exception now?

reporter Yaron Weitzman wrote an article covering the future prospects of Lakers forward James. Excerpts are as follows: James plays the season and then leaves the Lakers next summer Most league insiders believe that if LeBron decides to spend the last year or years of his career on another team, he will play the season in Los Angeles and then leave as a free agent next summer.

"He has never changed teams midway through the season before," said another league executive. "Will he really do this for the first time now?"

Playing this season can also delay LeBron's decision. The first league executive said: "The Lakers may not be able to reach the level of the Thunder, but they will perform well this year. Once the game starts, these are the things that matter."

But the question remains: Which team can give him a suitable farewell journey while meeting LeBron's salary requirements? The choices are very limited.

Will there be any team willing to give 41-year-old LeBron a contract that exceeds the middle class special? Will he really spend his last season with a team outside the Cavaliers or Lakers? None of this seems likely.

"It makes sense to go on a farewell tour at the Cavaliers," said the first agent. "It was a way to save face for LeBron, and it could be said that it was what he wanted. But he wouldn't get a high salary from them."
