The Los Angeles Lakers came close to signing veteran big man Brook Lopez, but the deal reportedly fell through due to Lopez’s concerns about the uncertainty surrounding LeBron James’ contract situation.

Lakers' LeBron James Drawing Trade Interest From 4 Teams originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Bucks have already kicked the tires by waiving and stretching Damian Lillard, and Kevin Durant is now a member of the Houston Rockets. However, they might not be the only big-name players on the move this offseason.

LeBron James opted into the final year of his player option with the Los Angeles Lakers over the weekend, and a statement put out by his agent, Rich Paul, made it seem like they could look for a new destination if the Lakers didn't upgrade the team in a significant way.
