LeBron James' Reported Lakers Trade Stance Amid Interest From 4 Teams originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is set to play in his 23rd NBA season after picking up his $52.6 million player option for 2025-26. However, the question is whether he'll be with the Purple and Gold franchise or with another team.

LeBron James declined an opportunity to speak about his future with the Los Angeles Lakers on ESPN's Saturday night broadcast of Summer League action in Las Vegas.

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly told their new star, Luka Dončić, not LeBron James, about their impending sale that occurred last month.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has been the subject of heavy trade rumors since his agent Rich Paul made a statement earlier this month that put some pressure on the Lakers to make good moves the rest of the offseason. James was at Summer League on Saturday night to watch his son Bronny play.

LeBron James reportedly believes that the Los Angeles Lakers are building towards the future instead of focusing on the team's short-term success.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t have the ending they had hoped for this past season. After trading for Luka Doncic, the team lost in five games to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. James finished the series averaging 25.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

LeBron James could land with the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, or Los Angeles Clippers this offseason.
