LeBron's agent Rich Paul has previously told ESPN that "LeBron wants to compete for a championship" and that remains his priority. With how close he is to retirement and their recent addition of Luka Dončić, LeBron's approach and the Lakers approach may no longer match.

The chatter around LBJ leaving L.A has become more than a whisper. And now, there are odds for his next team. See which squads could be in the running.

After picking up a $52 million player option with the Lakers, the dominant storyline this NBA offseason is likely to be where LeBron James will be playing next season.

Deandre Ayton has agreed to a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to multiple reports. The former No. 1 overall pick finds a new home after being bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers — and the Lakers find an upgrade at center after the initial rush of signings early in the NBA’s 2025 free-agency period.

Chris Haynes first reported the news. Over the weekend, the Blazers and Ayton agreed to a buyout of the final year of his contract worth $35.5 million over the weekend. The Blazers will pay $25 million of his contract after he agreed to give up $10 million in order to become a free agent.

Paul Pierce shares his thoughts on whether the Los Angeles Lakers should make a serious push for Deandre Ayton.

The Los Angeles Lakers were a finalist for free agent center Brook Lopez, but uncertainty about LeBron James' future with the franchise reportedly factored into his decision for signing with the Clippers.

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.

The Los Angeles Clippers have elected to make a move after adding Brook Lopez to the roster in free agency. Drew Eubanks is on the way out.

Despite having a glaring need at center, the Los Angeles Lakers' first notable addition in free agency turned out to be Jake LaRavia.
