With LeBron James entering the twilight of his career, many assumed he’d finish it in purple and gold. But now, questions are swirling after it was revealed the Lakers informed Luka Dončić about their ownership change—but didn’t say a word to LeBron.
🤔 What Happened?
- The Lakers are in the process of selling majority ownership of the franchise.
- Luka was reportedly told about the sale ahead of time.
- LeBron — the face of the team, arguably the league — was completely in the dark.
📉 Why This Is a Big Deal
LeBron has always been about control and communication. Being left out of a massive franchise decision like this sends a strong message, whether intentional or not.
- Is it a sign of a changing era in L.A.?
- Could this lead LeBron to explore other teams or wait for an ownership shift to decide?
🛫 What Could Happen Next
- LeBron has a player option in 2025.
- He’s been linked to potential moves with his son Bronny, or even a return to Cleveland.
- Could we see a shock exit this offseason or next?
The disconnect is real — and in the modern NBA, relationships with ownership matter. LeBron’s future might not be as locked in as we thought.
