There have always been slight rumors that LeBron James would want to play for the New York Knicks. Instead, he decided to move to the other side of the country and play for the Los Angeles Lakers, allowing him to play for another storied franchise, in one of the best cities in the world, too.

One NBA executive told Hoops Wire that he thinks James and the team's front office are "butting heads," citing the fact that the team hasn't officially announced the superstar's decision to opt in (h/t Lakers Daily ).

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly told their new star, Luka Dončić, not LeBron James, about their impending sale that occurred last month.

Los Angeles Lakers insider Jovan Buha believes the Lakers would consider signing a star player to a long-term contract in the near future despite reportedly prioritizing cap flexibility for the post-LeBron James era.

The Lakers have indirectly made it clear that they're now building their roster for and around Luka Doncic and not LeBron James.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t have the ending they had hoped for this past season. After trading for Luka Doncic, the team lost in five games to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. James finished the series averaging 25.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

Sports media personality shares that there is one missing piece before LeBron James is fully bought in with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Deandre Ayton is one of the newest faces of the Los Angeles Lakers, but he is still waiting to hear from his most famous teammate.
