Amid the craziness that has been the Los Angeles Lakers' offseason, superstar LeBron James has been at the center of much potential trade drama. James' agent Rich Paul recently revealed the answer to the question as to whether the King will be dealt or not.

Additionally, a trade proposal from Bleacher Report would land an All-Star in exchange for not only James, but his son Bronny as well. If a deal does, in fact, come to be, the return would certainly soften the blow of losing the all-time leading scorer.

Finally, Luka Doncic dropped a massive hint pertaining to his upcoming contract extension eligibility. The superstar is preparing for his first full season as a member of the purple and gold and appears to have invested in getting into better shape ahead of the 2025-26 year.
