On July 27, Jokic and other European players' agent Miško Ražnatović updated Ins, posting a photo of him taking a yacht with James on a vacation in San Petro, France. James' close friend and business partner Mafric Carter was also among them. The agent wrote: The summer of 2025 is an excellent time to make a big plan for the fall of 2026!

Recently, James and his beloved wife Savanna have been on vacation on the French beach and enjoying the offseason. Now his photo of him riding on a yacht with Jokic's agent has caused speculation. The agent also bluntly stated that this is for 2026. Will James join the Nuggets and join forces with Jokic next summer?

Previous famous reporter Marc Stein reported that James did not apply for leaving the team this summer nor did he ask for a buyout of the contract. The Lakers have begun the Doncic era. It is expected that the 2025-26 season will be the last year of James' Lakers' career. The Lakers hope that James will automatically leave the team after his contract expires. The reporter also said that James will not retire next summer, and he will look for a new team, and may even play for 25 years.

Marc Stein also said that James' return to the Cavaliers next year will be the closest ending to a fairy tale, but it is unclear what the Cavaliers want.

James executed a $56.2 million player option this summer, and is expected to start his 23rd season of his career with the Lakers, but he only has one year left in his contract with the Lakers. Once James becomes a free agent in the future, it is estimated that many teams in the league will pursue him. Even if he is over 40, he still has a lot of oil in his fuel tank and can bring huge financial revenue to the team.

How long can James play? All we can only wait and see.
