LeBron James is living it up in Cannes amid speculation about his Lakers future.

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer was spotted partying in the South of France this week with his wife, Savannah James, and his business partner, Maverick Carter.

A video of the couple dancing and singing along to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” while wining and dining at an oceanfront restaurant made the rounds online Tuesday.

At one point, Savannah was seen sipping a glass of white wine and dancing with her portable fan in the other hand.

The video also included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who was seen filming his wife, Lauren Sanchez, dancing to the song at a table nearby.

The couple tied the knot in a star-studded affair last month in Venice.

James clearly took advice from his agent, Rich Paul, who said he told the four-time NBA champ to “enjoy his summer” amid constant attention about his playing future.

James, who will turn 41 in December, is rumored to want out of the Lakers after Paul released a statement regarding the 21-time All-Star accepting his $52.6 million player option.

“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.”

James, who is entering his 23rd season, has a no-trade clause in his contract.

Despite speculation that James might reunite with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis in Dallas, NBA insider Rachel Nichols reported last week that the “Mavericks do not want LeBron James” and “have messaged that out through multiple reporters.”

Nichols added that she “thinks that door is closed.”
