Rich Paul Doesn't Expect LeBron James To Make Decision 'Anytime Soon'

LeBron James’ agent, Rich Paul, said he does not expect a decision on James’ next NBA team anytime soon, pushing uncertainty beyond the coming days or weeks. Speaking on Paul’s “Game Over” podcast with Max Kellerman, Paul emphasized James is taking his time and treating his future as a “blank slate,” with no external pressure. James previously told the Los Angeles Lakers he will not finish his career there, as the franchise priorities include Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. Paul cited a list of 10 teams on his podcast whiteboard, including the Cavaliers, Heat and Warriors, while suggesting James would not join the Knicks. The article notes James is 41 and earned $52 million in 2025–26, averaging 20.9 points.
