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.

Like sharks sensing a presence in the water, Rich Paul's cryptic statement that accompanied LeBron James' decision to opt in to his $52.6 million salary for next season led some teams to call the Los Angeles Lakers about the four-time NBA MVP's availability.

After having a wide range of teams to choose from, Ayton didn't struggle to pick the team with two or more big stars.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a better idea of what its depth at center will look like with Jaxson Hayes expected to return for another season.

The Los Angeles Lakers further shored up their depth at center by bringing back center Jaxson Hayes, according to ESPN. Hayes' one-year pact with the Lakers was reached on Thursday, the day after news broke that the team will sign Deandre Ayton to a two-year deal.

The Los Angeles Lakers will reportedly re-sign center Jaxson Hayes on a one-year deal, per ESPN's Shams Charania, who provided more information.
