Discussions surrounding Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James potentially appearing on the trade market have quieted down recently, according to The Ringer's Zach Lowe.

Lakers Executive Comments on LeBron James’ Decision Amid Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. LeBron James opted in to his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2025-26 season. However, the Lakers have not worked out an extension with James, which has fueled rumors that the team may trade him this offseason.

James, who will turn 41 in December, is rumored to want out of the Lakers after Paul released a statement regarding the 21-time All-Star accepting his $52.6 million player option.
