Lakers' LeBron James Drawing Trade Interest From 4 Teams originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Bucks have already kicked the tires by waiving and stretching Damian Lillard, and Kevin Durant is now a member of the Houston Rockets. However, they might not be the only big-name players on the move this offseason.

LeBron James opted into the final year of his player option with the Los Angeles Lakers over the weekend, and a statement put out by his agent, Rich Paul, made it seem like they could look for a new destination if the Lakers didn't upgrade the team in a significant way.

Teams have reportedly expressed interest in trading for Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, who exercised his lucrative player option.

After seeing Dorian Finney-Smith leave town to sign with the Houston Rockets, the Lakers brought in 23-year-old forward Jake LaRavia in their first free agency signing.

Despite having a glaring need at the center position, the Los Angeles Lakers' first notable addition in free agency turned out to be Jake LaRavia.

The Lakers lost a key role player when forward Dorian Finney-Smith agreed to a deal with the Houston Rockets, but they quickly moved onward by agreeing to a deal with forward Jake LaRavia when NBA free agency opened Monday afternoon.

The Lakers are going back to the classics as they are reportedly focusing on preserving cap space to chase free agents in 2027.
