LeBron James' "The Decision 2" Teaser Sparks Lakers Rumors

LeBron James teased "The Decision 2" with a short on-court clip captioned "The decision of all decisions," promising a full release Tuesday at noon. The timing matters: James heads into a 23rd season on an expiring deal, has been held out of early camp for nerve irritation in his glute with plans for "a little bit longer of a ramp-up," and now teams him with Luka Dončić — all while Rob Pelinka says he "would love if LeBron's story is to retire as a Laker." Merlin sees echoes of 2010 but also the wisdom of a veteran who averaged 24.4/8.2/7.8 last year. This teaser is as much about shaping a narrative as it is about a decision; expect clarification of LeBron’s near-term plans — not a sudden trade bombshell.
