One NBA executive told Hoops Wire that he thinks James and the team's front office are "butting heads," citing the fact that the team hasn't officially announced the superstar's decision to opt in (h/t Lakers Daily ).

According to recent comments from Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Mavericks may have a chance to trade for him. According to Buha, he's uncertain if the Lakers and James have a good relationship going right now.

The Los Angeles Lakers may be looking to move on from LeBron James, opening the door for him to potentially join forces with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
