LeBron James reportedly planning tell-all on Lakers departure in upcoming docuseries
LeBron James won’t return to the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2026-27 season, but the cameras will still be on him.
On Tuesday, James notified the Lakers he is leaving the franchise after eight seasons under the bright lights of Hollywood. As he enters the next (and perhaps final) chapter of his career, James is reportedly in talks to document the entire upcoming NBA season through a documentary or episodic series.
NBA analyst Kevin O’Connor was first to report the news.
James is in the midst of searching for what could be the final team of his storied NBA career. Rich Paul, his agent, revealed the 41-year-old is searching for happiness — not money — at this stage. James is reportedly willing to join a contender on a league minimum contract.
The Lakers have also moved on from their recent divorce from James as the team’s free agent signings were headlined by Jazz center Walker Kessler. While general manager Rob Pelinka has been aggressive this offseason, it’s unclear whether the Lakers have done enough to emerge as legitimate contenders during the 2026-27 season.
James could have ended his career with the Lakers but ultimately chose to leave the organization in a league-altering move. Now, the two parties will make do without the other.
The Lakers have kicked off a new era in Tinseltown with Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and Kessler at the helm.
As for James, he’s clearly searching for a farewell title and the team that can give him his best chance at leaving the league as a champion.
Regardless of where James lands, NBA fans will surely be interested in watching a documented version of what could be the superstar’s final season.
