“[Rich Paul] told me that he has not had any discussion with the Lakers about wanting a trade.”

Does LeBron James picking up his option and Rich Paul’s statement mean LeBron will get traded? Don’t be so sure.
Fake LeBron trades might be great for traffic, but the reality is this is him pushing the Lakers to make moves, not him trying to leave.

@SamQuinnCBS and I reacted to the Deandre Ayton buyout as it was reported in real time. We pinpointed about a dozen teams that make sense with the Lakers as the most likely suitor.
We also went over the four most logical LeBron James teams, and more! pic.x.com/MJ9bTl5P48 – 12:26 AM
