The 39-year-old Lakers superstar has a $51.4 million player option which he needs to exercise or decline by June 29. The Athletic previously reported the Lakers are open to re-signing James to the maximum three-year, $164 million contract he is eligible to receive once he opts out.

Mitchell openly said in the past that James was his favorite NBA player growing up. He even attended James’ “The Decision” in 2010.

“I went to the school where he had his decision,” Mitchell Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix, who was still with Yahoo Sports during a 2018 interview. “I begged my mom he was my favorite player  and told her I wanted to go.”

Mitchell said he was probably the only kid who cheered for him to go to Miami out of that whole crowd.

“There were a lot of New York Knicks fans, a lot of upset Cavaliers fans, I almost got hit with a Snapple bottle. I didn’t realize the impact it would have on basketball that night…but man it was a great night,” Mitchell continued.
