NBA insiders claim LeBron James' exit from the Lakers has become imminent as he reportedly feels the Lakers did not value his contributions anymore.

A wild new trade proposal would see LeBron James headed back to the Eastern Conference to create a seemingly unstoppable super-team.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: "Taxes are better there [in Florida].. A lot of people have tried to convince me to play [in New York], but nah. Probably [will stay in Milwaukee], we'll see... probably. I love Milwaukee." Via: https://t.co/xJWM8057kw pic.twitter.com/A7mjcQIKRX

Lakers fans shouldn’t forget about his LeCryptic tweets, his comments during All-Star weekend in Cleveland back in 2022, or even last week when he wore a “homecoming” hat while vacationing in Ohio. There has been plenty of sizzle, but no steak when it comes to LeBron leaving Los Angeles for essentially his entire time as a Laker.

The New York Knicks remain associated with one big name after another. Following links to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant, LeBron James has emerged as a speculated candidate for the Eastern Conference heavyweights. James opted into his $52.7 million option on Sunday, but Rich Paul seemingly suggested that it doesn't guarantee his stay in LA.
