The LeBron James trade rumors have officially begun. The Los Angeles Lakers don't seem committed to him, nor he to them. That being said would they really trade him to one of their biggest rivals?
The highlight of the latest iteration of the annual Las Vegas Summer League occurred Thursday night when Cooper Flagg and Bronny James traded buckets at Thomas & Mack Center. The highly anticipated matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers drew a star-studded crowd.
As detailed in a recent feature story by ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst, the news sent the Association into a "tizzy," with executives around the league doing their best to "decode" the message released by James's agent, Rich Paul.
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.
