James's contract expires at the age of 38. The Lakers haven't had a leader since Kobe retired, and James is just right for the Lakers' lineup. James, who entered the Lakers, signed a four-year contract. When the contract expired, James was 38 years old. Generally, the players at this time are basically retired, so can James still get the top salary contract at that time?
You know, Kobe got a contract worth 48.5 million in the last two years of his career. Let's discuss whether James can get the same treatment as Kobe after he is 38. First of all, judging from James' state, it is very possible for him to maintain a high level of competition at the age of 38.
James at that time should still have very good strength. Secondly, James is very influential in the league now, so his business value is also high. Kobe can get a 48.5 million contract because of his fame. So from this point of view, James still has a high probability of getting a maximum salary contract. Last but not least, Johnson is a famous Laker.
He invited James, so if the 38-year-old James is in good shape, he will definitely help James win the same contract as Kobe. Moreover, James is the player who is expected to break Abdel-Gabbar's scoring record so far. The Lakers will definitely not let such a player go, so it is natural for James to get a top contract.
