Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Also kind of fun that the only team we know he doesn't want to be on is the Lakers.

Honestly...I think it's the other way around. 

To be clear, I think LeBron can still play. If someone really is about to get him for the MLE, that will be a HELL of a deal, but...if the Lakers wanted him back, I think he'd be there. This dude's plan was CLEARLY to retire in LA for a dozen different reasons. 

I've heard multiple people say LeBron had "not yet given the Lakers the opportunity to talk with him about free agency." I think he and Rich Paul knew he wasn't going to be asked back and avoided the meeting wherein the Lakers would've officially told him so. I think they're playing it all this way to save face.
