LeBron James Expected To Opt Out, Seek No-Trade Clause In Next Contract With Lakers
LAL의 LeBron James가 LAL에 남을 것이라 예상되지만, 아마도 옵트 아웃 한 후 새로운 계약을 맺는 방식이 될 거라는 관측입니다. 이런 방식을 통해 트래이드 거부권을 확보하려고 할 거라는군요.
APR 8, 2024 11:07 AM
LeBron James is widely expected to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 24-25 season, but
"I think LeBron is going to opt out no matter what and the reason I think he's going to opt out no matter is because even if he just signs back for one year, the only functional way for LeBron to get a no-trade clause is to sign a new contract," said Brian Windhorst. "If he extends the contract he is in, or picks up that option and extends onto it, he cannot get a no-trade clause. I think for a number of different reasons, LeBron would like, ask for, and probably be granted a no-trade clause.
"There may be some debate with him and the Lakers about whether he should get three years, or whether a third year would be a team option, or a player option, or not guaranteed or whatever. I think there could be some interesting negotations back and forth on that."
James has a player with the Lakers for 24-25 worth $51.4 million.
