LeBron James Makes Honest Admission on Plans For Next Season

LeBron James helped the Los Angeles Lakers win the 2019-20 championship, and he is already thinking of the next season. According to some predictions, the upcoming season will start on Christmas Day. The NBA and the players’ association will probably reach an agreement in the near future.

“The NBA’s board of governors and players’ association will hold separate meetings on Thursday expected to culminate with an agreement on starting the 2020-21 season on Dec. 22 and playing a reduced 72-game schedule, sources told ESPN. The National Basketball Players Association is planning to take a formal vote of the team player representatives late Thursday, and sources told ESPN that everything is progressing toward an agreement on a pre-Christmas start to the season. The NBPA is holding team conference calls this week, including several on Wednesday, that detail discussions with the league on a salary escrow for players in the range of 18% for the next two years, sources told ESPN.”

LeBron James has special plans for the next season

How does LeBron feel about this? This may be the best scenario for the NBA. However, the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat played until mid-October, and they may not be ready for the early start of the season.

The Lakers superstar won his fourth ring at 35, and he will turn 36 in December. How will LeBron handle the upcoming season?

“I’m cherry picking the whole first half of the season,” LeBron joked.

It a joke, of course, but we can’t really blame LeBron even if it was true. The king of basketball could really use some extra rest right now. He led the Lakers to the top of the West and then defeated Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.

One thing stands for sure. The Lakers are definitely considered favorites to win the 2020-21 championship. LeBron and Anthony Davis will lead the team to the top again. They could really use an extra couple of hands. Some have linked Chris Paul and the Lakers. Is there any chance for the Lakers to get the All-Star?
