The deal includes a player option for the 2024/25 season, meaning James will be able to opt out of the final year of the contract if he no longer wants to stay at the club. CNN reached out to the Lakers to confirm the new contract. The new deal quashes any notion that James, who is already officially a billionaire, will become a free agent next year with the four-time NBA champion and MVP focused on making more history with the Lakers. The new season begins on Oct. 18, and if he avoids injury, James should be well on his way to passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. James averaged 30.3 points per game in 56 appearances last season despite the Lakers missing the playoffs in a difficult season. But the franchise now has the pay-cap flexibility to add another max-contract player to the team, potentially bolstering a star-studded roster that already boasts James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis.
