10 Mar
Summary
- LeBron James' final year with the Lakers is predicted for 2025-26.
- Scott suggests James might retire as a Cleveland Cavalier.
- A 'true Laker' is defined as someone who spent their entire career with the team.
NBA veteran Byron Scott has offered his prediction for LeBron James' future, stating that the upcoming 2025-26 season will be his last with the Los Angeles Lakers.
During a recent podcast appearance, Scott elaborated on his view, suggesting James could return to the Cleveland Cavaliers for a third stint to conclude his illustrious career. Scott believes this would be a fitting end, allowing James to retire as a Cleveland Cavalier and receive honors from the city.
Scott's analysis also touched upon James' legacy within the Lakers organization. He agreed with the notion that James might not be considered a "true Laker" by some, defining such players as those who dedicated their entire careers to the franchise, like Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant. Scott, a three-time champion with the "Showtime Lakers" and former coach, shared these insights on Monday's "Byron Scott's Fast Break" podcast.
