Rob Pelinka is leaving the door wide open for LeBron James to finish his career in purple and gold. In a recent statement, the Lakers GM expressed optimism about their ongoing partnership with the 4x NBA champion, making it clear the franchise will support LeBron no matter how long he chooses to continue playing.

NBA insider Marc Stein recently shook things up: he said the Golden State Warriors “will remain in the mix” for LeBron James if he ever looks to take his final bow somewhere other than L.A. Stein noted that Golden State showed interest in James during the February 2024 trade deadline and could keep doors open if he decides on a last hurrah with a fresh franchise.
