LeBron James Reportedly Being Courted by 4 Teams Amid Lakers Trade Rumors

Four different NBA teams are reportedly courting LeBron James as rumors continue to swirl about his future with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Sports Illustrated reported that journalist Dave McMenamin spoke to James' manager, Rich Paul, who told him about the potential trade. While McMenamin didn't get specifics from Paul about the interested teams, fellow journalist Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson confirmed that the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, and Cleveland Cavaliers were all interested in having James on their team.

McMenamin, however, remained undeterred. According to his report, he tried to get a statement from James about his future with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bron, however, shut down all the speculation with one quick phrase: "I ain't got nothin' to talk about."

SI, however, further broke down the various trade possibilities, noting that many active players would need to be part of the trade to achieve the larger Bron score.

PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford are just two of the many Dallas players who have been mentioned as a possibility to be included in the trade. James being traded to the Clippers, the outlet speculated, was unlikely unless the NBA star "wanted to remain in LA at all costs."

As for a potential Warriors trade, James would be paired with Steph Curry — which would be amazing — but Jimmy Butler would be scuttled off as part of the deal.

But it's the Cleveland Cavaliers that would stand to lose the most should James be traded to them. "The Cavs would have to lose two of their core players in a deal to bring the hometown hero back to Cleveland," Sports Illustrated noted. "Would that be ultimately worth it for a team that's one of the best in the Eastern Conference as currently constituted?"

We will keep you posted as the situation develops.
