The Los Angeles Lakers have had to deal with trade rumors surrounding LeBron James ever since Rich Paul sent out a statement after James opted into his player option. James is perceived to be unhappy with what they have done recently.

Its anybody’s guess whether LeBron James really wants to play for the Los Angeles Lakers next season or if he has little other choice. To this point, it seems like it more of the latter.

It's been a month-plus filled with LeBron James speculation. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is entering the final year of his contract, and reports have indicated that he won't necessarily be a Lakers player beyond this season.
