Stephen Curry injured his hamstring in the series opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves and fell 4-1. Looking to add more firepower, Warriors fans are suggesting a trade after a recent report that LeBron James had picked up his $52.6 million player option, but is uncertain about the Lakers' roster.

King James will be back on the court in the fall. LeBron James’ agent said Sunday that the NBA legend is exercising his $52.6 million player option to return for a record-setting 23rd NBA season and eighth with the Los Angeles Lakers.

LeBron James had an outstanding performance for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2024-25 NBA season, helping the team clinch a postseason spot. Unfortunately, their championship hopes were cut short in the first round of the playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
