When LeBron James is ready to step away from the game of basketball, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports he expects it to be announced before he plays his final games in the NBA. In recent years, all-time greats such as Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki announced their plans to retire well in advance, while Tim Duncan waited until shortly after his final season to make his announcement.
"I mean LeBron signed an extension this summer where he only has one year guaranteed, but I wouldn't start looking at like this is going to be the clock starting to tick down on his career where he would walk away from the Lakers and retire because they struggled throughout the season," said McMenamin. "He's going to be on his own timeline.
"And I think when it's the final march of LeBron, perhaps final March rather than Last Dance, we're all going to know. We're all going to know and it's going to be must see TV. It's going to be the LeBron tour coming to town throughout the 28 NBA cities culminating in a spectacular farewell.
"This isn't going to be one of those things where after the season he says, 'By the way, that was the last [season].' He is going to want to dance or march his way out of the NBA."

Sam Amick of The Athletic discussed the Golden State Warriors on a recent episode of The TK Show. Amick noted that Warriors have interest in Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat.
"Jimmy Butler’s going to be a free agent next summer. Didn’t get an extension done. The Warriors have interest there, and probably made a couple calls this summer," Amick said about Golden State and Butler.
Butler reportedly wanted an extension this summer from Miami. The veteran wing is on the Heat books for $48.8 million this season. Butler has a $52.4 million player option for the 2025-26 season.
The Warriors shed significant salary when Klay Thompson and Chris Paul left the team this offseason. Golden State got themselves under the tax briefly this summer, and currently find themselves just shy of the first tax apron. The team projects to be in a similar situation next offseason. The Warriors have several contracts they could stack together in a potential trade for Butler.

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. had a successful rookie season. However, Jaquez had areas he wanted to focus on this offseason. That work started with his outside shot.
"My three-point shooting, that’s an area that I really wanted to improve," Jaquez said. "I feel like I needed to improve if we wanted to, as a team, make the strides and jumps that we need to try to win a championship. And just really honing in on mechanics and getting a bunch of reps up."
Jaquez said he also focused on his body and diet this offseason.
"The season is very long, it’s grueling," Jaquez said. "You talk to some of the veterans about how much they take care of their body and what they eat, and I think just trying to change my diet. Doing a lot more organic foods and doing research into the things that get put into our food. So just trying to stay very organic, very healthy and just try to implement that as a lifestyle. As I’ve learned, it just makes your energy levels higher, you feel better, your brain is a lot more in tune and a lot more focused than when you’re putting bad preservative types of food in your body."
