Reports indicate that the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Clippers could be potential trade options for 40-year-old LeBron James.
This information was shared by sports journalist and NBA insider Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson on Sunday.
However, the situation remains ambiguous, as the four-time NBA champion has not officially sought a trade, despite ongoing speculation and rumors. Additionally, his contract features a no-trade clause, meaning he must consent to any trade arrangement between the Los Angeles Lakers and another NBA franchise.
These teams appear to be logical choices should the Akron native decide to request a trade ahead of the 2025-26 NBA regular season.
LeBron has utilized a player option valued at nearly $53 million that extends his contract until the next offseason. While he has indicated a commitment to the Lakers, comments from his agent, Rich Paul, have sparked interest from four teams eager to negotiate with the Lakers in case of a trade request.
If the upcoming season occurs, it will mark the 23rd year of his career. Whether it will also be his eighth with the Lakers and his first full season alongside Slovenian Luka Doncic remains uncertain, as the offseason continues.
The 2024-25 season wrapped up with averages of 24.5 points, 8.0 assists, 7.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game in 75 games until the Lakers were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Quarterfinals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs presented by Google.
