On April 24, 2026, the New York Post published an opinion column asserting that the Los Angeles Lakers need to act immediately to retain LeBron James for the 2026-27 NBA season.
The article contends that keeping the four-time league champion is critical to the team’s short-term success. Specific reasons or proposed strategies were not included in the excerpt reviewed, and no statements from the Lakers organization or James’s representatives were provided.
The Post did not indicate whether contract discussions are under way or when a decision might be reached.
