According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, there is another complicating factor. He was asked on "Get Up" if there is a market for James, and he said that there isn't.

When it comes to NBA rumors, and really sports rumors in general, particularly those involving LeBron James, it's gets a little tricky on social media when navigating through all the mud and the countless parody accounts "reporting" an abundance of fake news.

Brian Windhorst said on ESPN Cleveland that the superstar and the Lakers are "beginning to move apart" and that this is the beginning of the end of his time with the franchise (h/t Lakers Daily ).

While many initially felt the Los Angeles Lakers trading star forward LeBron James would be out of the question, one expert now feels the door is beginning to open for his eventual departure from Hollywood.

When LeBron James first signed with the Lakers in 2018, he likely imagined it would be the final stop of his NBA career. But after seven seasons with the Purple and Gold, it seems the relationship between LeBron and the Lakers organization has deteriorated beyond what anyone thought possible.
