On July 2, the NBA entered the offseason. In recent times, the future prospects of Lakers star James have attracted attention and heated discussion. According to the latest reports, James' chances of retirement are greater than being traded, but many teams, including the Mavericks, have contacted James' agent Ritchie Paul.

James exercised a $52.6 million player option on Sunday local time to choose to return to the Lakers. James has spent seven seasons with the Lakers, averaging 26.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 8.1 assists during this period, with shooting percentages of 51.3%, 36.0% and 72.9% in the three events, and led the Lakers to the NBA championship in 2020.

famous reporter Dave McMenamin talked about James' situation on ESPN LA's podcast. The host asked: "In terms of probability, how likely is James to retire after playing this season?" Dave McMenamin replied: "This is far higher than the possibility of him being traded."

At the same time, the famous reporter Brian Windhorst also said: "As far as I know, James is currently just observing the offseason trends. I don't think he will be traded. But if he really wants to leave, there will definitely be teams willing to make an offer."

However, although the possibility of James being traded is not high, many teams still ask about the possibility of this happening. According to Dave McMenamin on the show, four teams have asked Ritchie Paul about James's trade, and the Mavericks, Knicks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Heat, and Clippers may all be on this list.
