If James leaves the Lakers, will there be market conditions?

With the Lakers losing to the Timberwolves 1:4 in the first round and being eliminated, the team's star James stood in the spotlight again. Due to the failure to win the championship again, what plans James will do next becomes confusing. It is bold to speculate that if the Lakers do not have reinforcements in the offseason and cannot recreate a championship lineup for James, then James will not rule out the possibility of leaving the Lakers.

James is now 40 years old and his salary will be $52.63 million next season. If he wants to leave the Lakers, will there be a market situation? First, let’s take a look at the personal data of James this season. He averaged 34.9 minutes per game in the regular season, contributed 24.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal, shot a 51.3% shooting percentage, 37.6% three-point shooting percentage, averaged 40.7 minutes per game in the playoffs, contributed 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals and 1.8 blocks, shot a 48.9% shooting percentage, and 35.7% three-point shooting percentage!

Judging from the data alone, James can basically stabilize at 25+8+8, which is still the super giant level. But after all, he is old and his efficiency is not so ideal. However, James is still at the top level in the league in terms of game experience, locker room role, and key ball ability.

In addition, even if James does not have the current data support, he still has a market trend that exceeds most stars in the league, because the commercial value of James has already made many teams salivate. After all, the NBA is still a commercial league after all, and the final conversion of money is the bottom line! So if James chooses to leave the Lakers, he can get a contract of 50 million+ on many teams, but this contract lasts up to 2 years!
