LeBron James will be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers next season after it was announced he agreed to a four year, $154 million dollar deal with the team. The news was first revealed by Klutch Sports, whom represent James.
Magic Johnson, Rob Pelinka, as well as Lakers fans worldwide are collectively breathing a sigh of relief now that the deal is done. It was starting to look as though the team wouldn’t land any marquee free agents, let alone the biggest one in James. Lonzo Ball was among the excited people when the deal was announced.
Y’all really thought he was gonna pass up the greatest city in the world… #TheKingIsHere 👑

This is the next and final step in LeBron James’ legacy and you know he would not agree to go there unless some type of plan was in place to compete for championships. The Lakers current roster doesn’t scream out contender at all but there are still reports that Kawhi Leonard prefers to be there above anywhere else, as well as the Lakers continued interest in DeMarcus Cousins.
According to Brian Windhorst, the press release from Klutch will be the only statement anyone related to James will make at this time.
The Western Conference just got that much more intense, while numerous general managers and players in the Eastern Conference will be happy to see him go.
