Lakers, Warriors Have Had Multiple Conversations Regarding LeBron James Trade: Report

Trade rumors have been swirling around LeBron James all offseason long.

Reportedly, he hasn't been happy with the fact that the Lakers have decided to build around Luka Doncic so quickly.

James has never been on a team on which he was not the focal point, so this is something new for him.

There has been speculation that he could ask out before next season starts.

While James is expected to stay in Los Angeles next season, that hasn't stopped teams from calling about James, including one Western Conference foe.

He has never been traded in his NBA career.

Golden State has called LA multiple times about a possible James trade, but clearly, nothing has materialized.

The Lakers are not interested in trading him.

The last thing that new owner Mark Walter wants to be known as is the guy who traded LeBron James, who is one of the greatest players in the history of basketball.

James has a no-trade clause, so he would really have to ask out for any trade to happen.

The Lakers would also ask for a mammoth return, and the Warriors don't have many assets.

It's unclear what kind of package the Warriors were offering the Lakers, but it clearly was not enough to make a move.

James is a very good player still, and he's a good asset.

The trade deadline would be the soonest that he is moved.

If James wants to play for another team at some point, he likely will wait until the end of the season to opt out of his deal.

Then, he can sign with anyone he wants.

This past season, James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game.

He will turn 41 years old next year.
