According to ESPN, there was a series of "microaggressions" that signaled the Lakers' desire to focus on Luka Doncic over LeBron James.

LeBron James seems to be growing more and more unhappy with the current trajectory of the Lakers. This could very well mean a trade, in this proposed trade, he pairs up with one of the best big men in the game.

The Lakers have indirectly made it clear that they're now building their roster for and around Luka Doncic and not LeBron James.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is reportedly not happy with the outlook and vision of the front office.

However, the four-time NBA champion received a frightening retirement prediction from his son, Bryce James. "I ain't gonna lie that's OD (overdose-doing too much)," the Arizona freshman said on Instagram Live in response to a comment about him potentially joining his father in the league in 2026.

The decision from LeBron James earlier this summer to pick up his player option for next season from the Los Angeles Lakers came with an important caveat from agent Rich Paul — the four-time NBA MVP wants the chance to win another championship before his career comes to an end.
