LeBron James is one of the greatest players in the history of basketball. From the No. 1 overall pick in 2003's NBA Draft to a record-setting, championship-winning legend for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, it's been an epic journey.

More trade buzz has been coming up by the day. There have been a lot of connections between James and a return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite all of the trade speculation, there are hurdles to overcome in order for a trade to make sense. A new report has come out regarding the situation between James and the Lakers.

LeBron James opting into his player contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, followed by a statement released by his agent, has fueled trade and buyout rumors for the last week. He wants the best possible chance to compete for a championship, and even though the Lakers now have Luka Doncic, the rest of the roster is discombobulated, at best.
