Lakers Notes: Warriors Want LeBron James, LA Trade Plans Revealed, Legend Wants Austin Reaves Dealt

In this story:
The Los Angeles Lakers should expect to get a call regarding superstar LeBron James' availability from the Golden State Warriors.
According to a new report, the Warriors have James as their dream target to nab via trade. Despite still playing at a high level, James' trade value is challenging to measure due to his age and pending free agency, complicating any deal.
Los Angeles has a good deal of assets for trade themselves. If the team is playing well, president of basketball operations, Rob Pelinka, could pull the trigger on a trade.
Finally, a specific Lakers legend is asking for Austin Reaves to be traded. The guard is expected to be a free agent next offseason, and many have raised questions about his fit on the team.
