NBA season gears up for takeoff, rumors suggesting that LeBron James could leave the Los Angeles Lakers also seem to be heating up. The four-time NBA champion has been with the Lakers since 2018, after he jumped ship to join Rob Pelinka’s camp from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As all eyes remain on LeBron James this offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers star reportedly hasn't requested a trade.

LeBron James opted to avoid adding any clarity to what has suddenly become a complicated Lakers outlook. The superstar had a chance to clear up the trade rumors and speculation that’ve made his Los Angeles future murky, but when asked by ESPN on Saturday if he wanted to join their NBA Summer League broadcast, James declined.
