James meets Jokic s agent! US media analyzes three possibilities. Will the two superstars join forces?

On July 27, Jokic's agent Raznatovic posted a group photo on IG social media, which was a group photo of himself, James and Maverick Carter (James's business partner), with the caption "The summer of 2025 is the best time to make a major plan for the fall of 2026! @James @Maverick Carter."

James is a meticulous person. He never does meaningless things and is always a master who controls the direction of his story. So, as people say, any photo with James on the screen is not accidental. This group photo quickly caused heated discussion. The US media Basketball Network wrote an article to analyze three major possibilities, as follows: Is

James coveting Denver?

Everyone knows that James has implemented the $53 million player option with the Lakers, and they also know that he will no longer be a Lakers player after the end of next season.

Some people say he will retire. But what if he wants to continue playing? There is news that James may reunite with the Cavaliers. However, it is not clear whether Dan Gilbert intends to welcome the superstar back for the third time.

As we all know, the Nuggets had been pursuing James in the summer of 2018, hoping to get him to join forces with Jokic. But at that time, James ignored the Nuggets and turned to sign with the Lakers. This plateau team eliminated the Lakers twice in 2023 and 2024, and James has always praised Jokic's skills.

Authentic, James, who is now in his 40s, is no longer the same state they originally thought they would partner with Jokic. But in the Nuggets now, there are Jokic's helpers - Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson. However, it would be a good idea for the team to sign James at a reasonable salary (even if he is 41 or 42 years old).

Or is he recruiting Jokic to join the Lakers?

If James doesn't go to Denver, would it be the other way around? Will James struggle to convince Jokic to move to Los Angeles when Doncic is busy preparing for the "revenge season"?

Jokic recently rejected the Nuggets' four-year, $212 million contract extension. And a few weeks ago, Lakers general manager Robert Pelinka said they did not prioritize renewing Finney Smith because they were saving money for the free agent market in 2026, when the three-time MVP would become a free agent. Perhaps the Lakers want Doncic to partner with Jokic, and LeBron is their lobbyist.

Or are you just talking about another business investment?

Perhaps James will retire after the end of this season and then buy a team in Europe. Or, "Kings" James is preparing for his possible identity as an NBA team boss, recruiting top talents by working with top European agents.

Maybe James is discussing investing in Jokic's horse, or something similar. Otherwise, this may have nothing to do with basketball.

At present, all of this is just speculation. But since Raznatovic said they are planning a big event for next year, it is worth discussing. As mentioned earlier, LeBron is a master at sending signals. That Instagram photo is by no means a coincidence, the four-time champion must be brewing something interesting.
