LeBron James' agent might have just made a big mistake.

The NBA's all-time leading scorer's future is up in the air, as he has a player option with the Los Angeles Lakers, who just fired Darvin Ham as their head coach.

Uncoincidentally, the deadline for that option comes two days after the NBA Draft, where his son, Bronny, may be drafted.

For what it's worth, James has never shied away from retirement talk, either.

As it stands now, James currently has a contract with the Lakers, but Rich Paul may have slipped up.

Paul, the CEO of Klutch Sports, appeared on TNT's alternate broadcast of Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks when they were discussing James' future, when Paul might have jumped the gun.

"LeBron's a free agent," he said.

TNT's Chris Haynes pressed him, and then Paul backtracked a tad.

"We're gonna evaluate the situation," he added, "and we're gonna make the best decision."

James joined the Lakers in 2018, winning a title with them in 2020. He has said he wants to play with his son(s), but his NBA future looms.
