With all the rumors surrounding LeBron James and the Lakers, Luka Doncic's agent cleared the air with a telling comment about their relationship.

The big question on the minds of many when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers is whether LeBron James will be with the team once the new season starts. When he exercised his player option for the 2025-26 campaign, his agent, Rich Paul, made a cryptic statement that seemed to, at a minimum, open the door to him asking to be traded.

For months, publicly and privately, the Lakers have been signaling their desire to begin the Luka Doncic era in Los Angeles, even if it meant ending the LeBron James one.
