NBA reporter Marc Stein predicted that LeBron James will not retire with the Lakers in a recent edition of his newsletter.

If James wants to play beyond the upcoming season, the Mavericks, Warriors, Knicks, or even Cavaliers appear to be potential destinations.

When the new campaign starts, James will be suiting up for his 23rd NBA season, which will be a new league record. NBA insider Marc Stein feels that the 40-year-old playing not just past this season but for two more seasons afterward is a "legit possibility" that could come to pass (h/t Lakers Daily ).

Despite LeBron James picking up his $52.6 million player option to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers for next season, there's never been more speculation surrounding his status with the team. That's in part because no new contract was negotiated this summer to keep him there past this upcoming season,
