Su Qun: James and the Lakers may play in Europe after their contract ends.

Not long ago, James was photographed appearing on a yacht with Jokic's agent in Europe, and this matter also caused heated discussions from the outside world. Today, the famous writer Su Qun updated his personal official account to talk about this matter. The following is some of the content.

A few days ago, a photo of James and a European agent on a French yacht went viral on the Internet, shrouding the 40-year-old star with a layer of mystery. The agent's boss is Mishko Razinatovic, and he is the king of European basketball agents and has Jokic under his command. Although Jokic is busy with carriage racing and is not on the yacht, James and his agent will not just go out to sea to play together. At the beginning, there were many speculations, would James join forces with Jokic after the contract with the Lakers ended?

The photo was posted by Mishko himself on Instagram, and he accompanied it with a sentence: "The summer of 2025 is an excellent time to make a big plan for the fall of 2026." It makes people think a lot.

But there is also a thin and concise black man in the photo. He is James's little boy, "Maverick" Carter, equivalent to his personal manager. If it is Fu Paul, it must have something to do with the team. If it is "Mavericks" Carter, it must have something to do with the business. Sure enough, a few days later, news came out that James and Mishko were talking about organizing a new league in Europe.

Carter is responsible for the management of James's business, but he also has his own dreams. In January this year, Bloomberg revealed for the first time that Carter was gathering a group of investors and preparing to raise $5 billion to start a brand new basketball league in Europe. The league that Carter wants to run has 6 teams, men and women, and players like the NBA are full-time, which means they cannot play across leagues like the WNBA. But compared with the NBA, this league has the following differences: First, adopt a tour system, rather than each team has its own home court; second, players can hold shares, which is exactly the inner dream of Celtics star Jaylen Brown; third, there is no upper limit on players' income, unlike the NBA that sets salary caps, luxury taxes and salary levels. Although it is still in the conceptual stage, it will definitely have an impact on the NBA star plate.

Now James is in the same frame with Mishko and Carter, at least to stand up for Carter's new league. It is not even ruled out that after his contract with the Lakers ends, he will go to Europe to be a signboard. His influence is beyond the reach of ordinary NBA stars. Expansion of the army will also dilute the star resources, because the new team is just a shell and 30 teams need to take out players for them to choose. Therefore, James' dream of becoming a team boss cannot be realized for the time being. But with James' influence, it's always OK to build a new league?

The NBA has no conditions yet, so it is more than enough to try the cake in the European market.
