Rob Pelinka is leaving the door wide open for LeBron James to finish his career in purple and gold. In a recent statement, the Lakers GM expressed optimism about their ongoing partnership with the 4x NBA champion, making it clear the franchise will support LeBron no matter how long he chooses to continue playing.

LeBron James recently responded to an NBA executive who questioned the legitimacy of the Lakers' bagging the championship in 2020.

Los Angeles Lakers president Rob Pelinka said he is having "positive" conversations with LeBron James' agent Rich Paul, and that it "would be great" if the superstar were to close out his NBA career with the Lakers.
