According to Shams Charania on the Pat McAfee Show, the Los Angeles Lakers are willing to offer LeBron James any contract he wants this offseason, including a no-trade clause.
James can only get a no-trade clause if he opts out of his current contract, as it can’t be added to an extension. Bradley Beal is the only NBA player with a no-trade clause, which he used last offseason to join the Phoenix Suns.
“It’s 51.4 million if he opts in,” said Charania. “If he opts out, I mean he can still dictate his contract. It’ll be a two-year deal. The Lakers have said it, I’ve reported it, they’re willing to offer whatever LeBron James wants.
“If he wants to opt-in and add two years and do a three-tear max $164 million deal, they’ll do that. If he wants to opt-out and get a new trade clause, they’ll do that. So LeBron James has a franchise that has been very upfront about the fact that they want to bring him back on any term, and that they have interest in drafting Bronny James.”
