With the Los Angeles Lakers reorienting their plans around Luka Dončić and 2027 cap space, LeBron James finds himself in uncharted waters. For the first time in his career, he's not the focal point of his franchise.

Cleveland Cavaliers fans hoping for a LeBron James reunion this NBA offseason shouldn’t hold their breath, as according to Kurt Helin of NBC Sports, the Cavaliers are “not that interested” in trading for the Los Angeles Lakers superstar.

LeBron James has been with the Lakers for seven years. He recently exercised his player option for the 2025-26 season, but could be open to exploring options outside Los Angeles.
