The future of 40-year-old star forward LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers still aims to compete for a championship. This was revealed by reputable North American insider Dave McMenamin on social media.
According to McMenamin, LeBron and his agency, Klutch Sports, maintain a firm stance: the league veteran will be monitoring developments within the Lakers and plans to stay with the team only if they are ready to contend for a title.

I'm told that the statement that Rich Paul gave to Shams Charania back in June when LeBron opted in still stands. LeBron and his representatives will be monitoring the Lakers' moves that they make, because they recognize that there's only a very limited amount of time left in his career and he wants to be competing for championships, whatever time that is.
Previously, LeBron extended his contract with the Lakers for another season, allowing him to spend a seventh consecutive year with the franchise. Last season, James averaged 25.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game, and he remains the oldest active player in the NBA.
