LeBron James' Future in Limbo as Lakers Hope He Continues Caree

The Los Angeles Lakers are hoping LeBron James decides to continue his career after the team's early exit from the playoffs. James, who is 38 years old, has one year left on his contract with the Lakers. He has not yet made a decision about his future but the Lakers are hopeful that he will stay.

"We're going to have a conversation with LeBron in the coming days" Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said. "We want to know what his plans are. We want him to be happy and healthy and we want to do everything we can to help him achieve his goals."

James has not publicly commented on his future but he did hint that he is considering retirement after this season. "I'm going to take my time and really think about it" James said after the Lakers' loss to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. "I'm not going to rush anything."

The Lakers are facing a rebuilding process after a disappointing season. The team missed the playoffs for the first time in seven years and they have a number of key players who are either injured or aging. If James decides to retire it would be a major blow to the Lakers' chances of contending for a championship in the near future.

However, the Lakers are still hopeful that James will stay. The team has a strong history of winning championships and James has said that he wants to win more titles before he hangs up his sneakers. The Lakers are also in a good position to make moves this offseason to improve their roster. If they can add a few key pieces, they could be a contender again next season.

The Lakers' future hinges on LeBron James' decision. If he decides to retire, the Lakers will be in for a long rebuilding process. However, if he decides to stay, the Lakers could be a contender again next season.
