All-NBA Los Angeles Lakers combo forward LeBron James' first playoff run with five-time All-NBA First Team L.A. guard Luka Doncic ended in near-disaster this spring, as the 50-32 Lakers fell in just five games to the lower-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves.

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.

Several teams have already registered interest in Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James as a potential trade acquisition, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin.
