Countdown to James departure? Su Qun: After James contract with the Lakers ends, he may go to Europe to play basketball

A few days ago, it was reported that James was trying to raise $5 billion to establish a brand new league. He had contacted Jokic's agent Mishko Razinatovic, who is the king of European basketball agents and has superstars like Jokic.

The media also revealed photos of James, Mishko Lazhnatovic and James' friend "Mavericks" Carter on a yacht in France.

Su Qun, a famous domestic basketball commentator, published an article talking about this matter. He believes that this may be a signal that James went to Europe to play after he retired.

Su Qun's main point in the article is:

In January this year, Bloomberg first revealed that Carter was gathering a group of investors and preparing to raise $5 billion to start a brand new basketball league in Europe. The league that Carter wants to run has 6 teams, men and women, and players like the NBA are full-time, which means they cannot play across leagues like the WNBA.

But compared with the NBA, this league has the following differences: First, adopt a tour system, rather than each team has its own home court; second, players can hold shares, which is exactly the inner dream of Celtics star Jaylen Brown (Curry also has this idea); third, there is no upper limit for players' income, unlike the NBA that sets salary caps, luxury taxes and salary levels.

Now James is in the same frame with Mishko and Carter, at least to stand up for Carter's new league. It is not even ruled out that after his contract with the Lakers ends, he will go to Europe to be a signboard. His influence is beyond the reach of ordinary NBA stars. With James' influence, it's always OK to build a new league?

NBA has no conditions yet, so it is more than enough to try the cake in the European market.

The author can only partially agree with Su Qun's point of view.

Because although James has reached his twilight years of his career, his position in the team and the league is far less strong than his peak. But if you want James to play in Europe after retirement, I believe James will not agree.

The fact that James is raising funds to become a league seems to have existed. This may be the focus of James' plan after his retirement. Moreover, James' business territory is already very grand, and he still has many careers. Once he retires, I believe he will no longer have the energy to play in Europe.

Moreover, James is a family-conscious person, which can be seen from his decision to decide to play in the Los Angeles Lakers. James chose to go to Los Angeles in order to allow his children to receive a better education and he could stay with his family more.

So, it may be difficult to achieve when James goes to Europe to play basketball after retirement. Even if this is what the famous speaker Su Qun said, I believe most people don’t believe it very much.

However, it is an indisputable fact that James' time with the Lakers has entered the countdown. Especially since the Lakers have just completed the early renewal of their maximum salary with Doncic, this means that James is no longer the top card and absolute core of the Lakers. James, who has a strong self-esteem, may realize that it is time to leave.

James will soon become a reality when he leaves the Lakers. As for where his future will be, whether he retires or goes to other teams, it depends on his subsequent decision!
