Teams have reportedly expressed interest in trading for Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, who exercised his lucrative player option.

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.

Rich Paul hinted that some teams are interested in trading for LeBron James. A few teams have already reached out to him about a possible deal, James’ agent and the CEO of Klutch Sports told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
