The Los Angeles Lakers are determined to keep the iconic LeBron James, one of the greatest players in NBA history, especially after his performances in the playoffs. According to 'The Athletic,' the 17-time NBA champion franchise is preparing a three-year offer worth $164 million, along with an unspecified gift, all in an effort to retain 'The King' on the team.

It's worth mentioning that the 39-year-old player has the option to automatically renew with the Lakers for $51 million. However, this option doesn't seem feasible, as it expires after June 29, and LeBron's recent statements don't indicate he's fully committed to staying with the squad.

Furthermore, the forward has previously expressed his intention to play alongside his son Bronny James before retiring. Bronny will be eligible for the 2024 NBA Draft, so the franchise that selects him will have the upper hand in securing the services of the league's all-time leading scorer (with over 40,000 points).
