LeBron James is reportedly being eyed by four NBA teams amid speculation about the future of the Los Angeles Lakers. According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, Rich Paul, James’ agent, has been contacted by four teams with interest in trading for the four-time MVP.
Paul previously stated that James will monitor the team’s offseason moves to determine if they are attempting to build a roster capable of competing for a championship. The Lakers have brought in forward Jake LaRavia and center Deandre Ayton through free agency, but James reportedly feels that the team’s mindset is focused on the future.
The 40-year-old superstar has picked up his $52.6 million player option, avoiding unrestricted free agency. While he hasn’t officially requested a trade from the Lakers, opposing front offices continue to monitor his availability. The Golden State Warriors have shown interest in James, but it remains unclear if he will be traded or remain with the Lakers for the 2025-26 season.
