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.

The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James have been the biggest story in the NBA rumor mill over the last week. His future with the team has been very much in doubt, but there have been no concrete reports about what the future may hold.

After this latest report from Biran Windhorst, it's hard not to think that the Los Angeles Lakers are done with the LeBron James era.
