A reporter claimed in a social media post that the Lakers "would like to move on from" LeBron James as soon as possible.

LeBron James reportedly believes that the Los Angeles Lakers are building towards the future instead of focusing on the team's short-term success.

Skip Bayless has reacted strongly to reports suggesting LeBron James feels undervalued by the Los Angeles Lakers. Bayless pointed out James's decision to opt into his $52.6 million player option, highlighting that he could have tested free agency but likely wouldn't have received a similar offer elsewhere.
