The trade scenario regarding LeBron James is getting pretty interesting with each passing day. While James has opted in for his contract with the Lakers, his future remains uncertain beyond that. And with rumors swirling in, a lot of teams had been interested in acquiring the services of James. However, with the Lakers dropping a brand new trade condition, all but two franchises remain eligible.

Dan Woike from The Los Angeles Times recently appeared on The Zach Lowe Show. Speaking about James, he stated that the Lakers will not be taking back any contracts beyond the 2025-26 season. Now, this stipulation left most of the teams with no choice but to back out.

However, only a couple of teams, the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers, remain in contention. Both of these franchises have the financial flexibility of sending out more than or equivalent to $50 million in expiring deals. Meanwhile, despite all the buzz, James’ legacy seems to have remained unhindered. And Caitlin Clark was the latest to acknowledge it publicly.
