The Los Angeles Lakers have put out feelers to trade superstar LeBron James, according to KTLA sports anchor and reporter David Pingalore.
While Pingalore isn’t known as a top NBA reporter, he has been right about several moves in the past before.
Pingalore had sources that were right about Kawhi Leonard signing with the Los Angeles Clippers, James returning to Cleveland for a second stint and more.

James is in the final season of his contract with the Lakers, although he does have a player option for the 2024-25 season. If James opts out following this season, he will become an unrestricted free agent.
The Lakers are just 24-25 this season, and they hold the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference ahead of their matchup with the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
With Los Angeles not looking like an NBA Finals contender at this point in the season, the team could consider doing the unthinkable and moving James to give him a chance to compete for a title elsewhere.
