In regards to LeBron James and his future with the Los Angeles Lakers, new information has emerged. Several reports are coming out of an NBA insider that the Lakers are planning something that will shock everyone this off-season. It appears that the Laker’s season this year will be no different from last season, so what does the Laker’s future hold if they are to have any chance of winning an NBA championship?

Is it beneficial to carry James and Anthony Davis for another season? As they turn another year old? Are the Lakers planning a trade exchange that involves a big name? Chris Mannix and Howard Beck of SI.com recently released reports attempting to clear up much of this confusion.

This report also suggests the Lakers are considering a trade and trying to convince James to do so. To start with, “I can see LeBron’s side; he’s 38 and in the middle of an MVP-level season. With a little help—and with Anthony Davis’s health—James can envision pushing the Lakers through a super team-less conference field,” according to the reports. As a result, NBA fans are outraged over reports of James’ trades with $200 million plus stars.

In exchange for LeBron James, what names are possible trade candidates?

As a further part of the report, there is also a section about possible trade names that the Lakers might use in the big trade. “Internally, I’m sure the Lakers are selling James on an off-season when Bradley Beal or Damian Lillard becomes available, and L.A. Swoops in with its picks to acquire them. But that’s more fantasy than reality.” Twitter exploded with reactions following this, showing many angry reactions. The following tweets are coming from fans.

These two players are believed by the Lakers to have the ability to change the team’s current situation. However, no trade talks are underway between the players. The Washington Wizards signed Beal to a five-year contract worth an estimated $251 million back in 2022.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Damian Lillard has a two-year, $122 million extension at the moment. From the time James joined the Lakers back in 2018, he has suffered numerous injuries. Therefore, the big question again is what measures will the Lakers take to change their current position in the NBA?
