Cycling media: Doncic renews his contract in advance, which means that James is already the No. 2 star in the team. The Cavaliers can consider the latter.

Knight media kingjamesgospel published an article talking about Doncic's early contract renewal. The following is all content.

Luca Doncic signed a new contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, and LeBron James' status in the Lakers has dropped to second place. Does this mean James would want to end his legendary career in a different way?

Doncic officially renewed his contract with the Lakers, with a three-year contract worth $165 million, ensuring he will remain in Los Angeles after the upcoming 2025-26 season. It is worth noting that August 2 local time is the earliest time when Doncic can discuss contract renewal with the Lakers. The first operation shows that both parties are obviously full of confidence in future cooperation.

With James' contract coming to an expiration, it is still uncertain whether he will continue to stay in the Lakers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will undoubtedly pay close attention to this trend.

If James wants to end his career with a fairytale ending, then returning to where his career began might be a good choice.

Although James will face many difficulties in returning to the Cavaliers, it is not impossible to achieve. As a representative of the player empowerment sport, James caused great controversy when he left the Cavaliers in 2010. However, when he returned and led the team to the 2016 championship, it all made up and became one of the most iconic wins in league history.

If James is willing to make sacrifices and join the Cavaliers who are currently in the championship competition, they will become strong contenders in the 2026-27 season. However, the total salary of the team is already very high. To provide James with a maximum salary contract, other expenses must be greatly reduced (reducing employees to avoid the second-large tyrant line & sacrificing the salary of the core rotation), which will seriously weaken the team's strength.

The key question is whether James, who has made a fortune, is willing to accept a contract that is far lower than his current market value? If he is willing to give up his huge salary, then a return to the Cavaliers will be the undisputed best option for the NBA all-time scoring champion. However, this remains a huge unknown, and Cavaliers fans will keep an eye on it until the 2026 offseason.
