It seems like the Lakers are ready to move on from LeBron James. They didn’t offer him an extension or even give him a heads-up about the sale,

Are you sure? I thought that the contract he's signed last year includes this season.

What he means is that, this might be his final year as a Laker and there's a huge chance that it's either he will become a free agent in the 2026-2027 season if he decides to play again for the 24th season, or he will retire after this 2025-2026 season. That's what "didn't offer an extension" means.

Let's see if he'll still play after this season or not. But it's most likely he'll simply retire and try to help the younger professionals to thrive into basketball.

In LeBron's current contract, the upcoming season is a player option.
It is worth noting that recently, there have indeed been a lot of rumors that LeBron may leave the Lakers. As far as I know, the Warriors are very interested in LeBron, and it seems like they are already making attempts to get him.

I've heard of that rumor that Steph and Lebron would like to play with each other. And this was during the Olympics last year.

Let's see if the player option is activated, if he is still going to play for Lakers or will sign for another one for last hurrah or will get to retirement.
