LeBron James' fiery Instagram post includes Clippers twist
LeBron James got a few things off his chest in a new Instagram post on Thursday. The Lakers superstar, who's been at the center of trade rumors this offseason, cautioned to appreciate him while he's still playing. It included a snapshot of him working out in front of a Clippers sign, which raised some eyebrows from fans. Advertisement 'Say whatever you want but you damn sure won't be able to say I didn't put in the WORK!! 👑 ,' James, 40, wrote. 'We'll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man F this Shhhhhh.' LeBron James working out ahead of his 23rd NBA season. Instagram/LeBron James Klutch Sports Group, the agency that manages James, confirmed to USA Today that the photo was taken at their offices in Playa Vista, located in the old Clippers practice facility. Advertisement Klutch uses the facility for its players to train in Los Angeles and they haven't yet switched out the Clippers signage. It comes after James was seen working out at the Cleveland Cavaliers practice facility earlier this summer. James responded to the buzz earlier this month, writing on X, 'I live here still and train every summer.' Advertisement James, who will turn 41 in December, is rumored to want out of the Lakers after his agent, Rich Paul, released a statement regarding the 21-time All-Star accepting his $52.6 million player option. James, who is entering his 23rd season, has a no-trade clause in his contract. The NBA's all-time leading scorer doesn't seem phased by the buzz, as Paul advised him to enjoy his summer. James was spotted partying in the South of France last week with his wife, Savannah James, and his business partner, Maverick Carter. Advertisement LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James in Portofino, Italy. COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID 'LeBron wants to compete for a championship,' Paul told ESPN last month. 'He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning it all. We are very appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years with Jeanie [Buss] and Rob [Pelinka] and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career. 'We understand the difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future. We do want to evaluate what's best for LeBron at this stage in his life and career. He wants to make every season he has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive and want what's best for him.'

LeBron James posts image of himself with Clippers logo in background
All of a sudden, not as many people are talking about LeBron James possibly asking the Los Angeles Lakers to trade him. That talk has largely subsided as the realities of how difficult it would be to pull off a trade that would land him on an instant title contender have seemingly sunk in. But many feel James has been dropping passive-aggressive hints that he may want to move on. Earlier this offseason, he had a couple of social media posts of himself in his native Ohio, including one at the Cleveland Cavaliers' facility. The latest such post shows him working out in a room that has the Los Angeles Clippers' logo positioned behind him. The accompanying caption on that Instagram post read as follows: "Say whatever you want but you damn sure won't be able to say I didn't put in the WORK!! . We'll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man [expletive] this [expletive]." This could be a big nothing as far as which team James will play for in the coming months, and it's always possible he's simply looking to mess with people who love to speculate about him. Of course, since it is him, and since he is infamously passive-aggressive, people will wonder what this post is really all about.

Lakers' LeBron James teases Year 23 with early-morning workout post
The post Lakers' LeBron James teases Year 23 with early-morning workout post appeared first on ClutchPoints. LeBron James has made headlines this offseason for his future with the Los Angeles Lakers and perceived beef with rapper Drake, but rest assured, the man is still focused on being the best basketball player he can be at 40 years of age. The all-time great's love for the game and commitment to his physical conditioning are on full display in a recent social media post. James revealed a picture of himself driving in the middle of the night and captioned it with a message that is sure to fire up Lakers fans. 'Let's get it!,' he said, via Mark Stein. 'Year 23 coming soon!' Regardless of what one thinks about this polarizing figure, his dedication to his craft is indisputable. James invests millions of dollars and countless hours into preserving his superstar form, and the results are reflected on the court. Despite logging more than 1,800 career games (including playoffs), the four-time NBA Finals MVP is still a top-10 player in the league. He is exhibiting unparalleled longevity, further solidifying himself as one of the most influential individuals to ever step foot on the hardwood. LeBron James continues to perform at a high level James scored 24.4 points per contest on 51.3 percent shooting from the field and 37.6 percent shooting from behind the 3-point line last season. He also averaged 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds on his way to a sixth-place finish in MVP voting. Most athletes entering middle-aged territory are just hoping for a graceful exit. This one earned an All-NBA Second-Team selection. Body maintenance remains a crucial component of James' unfathomable evasion of Father Time. However, a couple of retired athletes have made big accusations about how the all-time scoring leader goes about said maintenance. Former All-Star point guard Jeff Teague recently claimed that the all-time scoring leader was using steroids back in the day, but he dismissed the remarks as a joke hours later. The controversial Chael Sonnen, who competed in the UFC before becoming an analyst, declared in 2023 that James uses performance-enhancing drugs (PEDS), going as far as to say that he and the face of the NBA have the 'same drug guy.' Neither Sonnen nor anyone else has presented substantiated evidence that LeBron James has engaged in such practices. Fans are fiercely protective of his reputation just the same, though. What is inarguable is that he still eats, sleeps and breathes basketball. He is attacking the offseason with passion and intensity, taking it upon himself to get physically and mentally ready for the 2025-26 season. Will Lakers maximize the remainder of the LeBron era? In what could be his last year in LA, and in the NBA, James is intent on contending for a fifth championship. While there is still doubt regarding the Lakers' ceiling in a tough Western Conference, general manager Rob Pelinka did make notable additions in the form of center Deandre Ayton, sharpshooter Jake LaRavia and impactful defender Marcus Smart. If James and Los Angeles can build on their respectively active offseasons, then maybe fans will get to experience at least one more memorable campaign before this era of Purple and Gold hoops officially ends, and the Luka Doncic era reaches full force.
