LeBron James opted into the final year of his player option with the Los Angeles Lakers over the weekend, and a statement put out by his agent, Rich Paul, made it seem like they could look for a new destination if the Lakers didn't upgrade the team in a significant way.

After LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul, made some cryptic comments on Sunday when James decided to pick up his player option for the 2025-26 season, many have been speculating that the future Hall of Famer could be on his way to asking the Los Angeles Lakers to trade him.

In what would be an incredible piece of irony, the Dallas Mavericks have been linked to a possible trade for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
