LeBron James has been the face of the Los Angeles Lakers since arriving in Hollywood in 2018. He won the organization its first title in a decade in 2020 and turned in another strong performance last year in his age-40 season.

A sensational three-team trade proposal could send LeBron James back to Miami, shaking up the NBA. The Lakers would receive Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rozier, Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and a 2029 first-round pick.

While both pickups will have a chance to make an impact on the Lakers during the 2025-26 season, more work needs to be done. LeBron James has become a major talking point in recent days. His future with the team seems cloudy at best.
