LeBron James' future with the Los Angeles Lakers remains murky. Although he opted into the final year of his contract, every message his agent has put out there makes it seem like they don't want to be there, and they'd be keeping an eye on the moves the Lakers made to see if it aligns with an opportunity to win now.

The Los Angeles Lakers send LeBron James and Bronny James to the Golden State Warriors for Jimmy Butler in one Bleacher Report mock trade proposal.

James was reportedly asked by ESPN if he wanted to share thoughts on picking up his $52.6 million player option and speculation surrounding a supposed strained relationship with ownership, but he declined. "I ain't got nothing to talk about," ESPN's Dave McMenamin said James told him off camera.
