The dream of a potential LeBron James-Stephen Curry pairing was at least put back on the table after Rich Paul's statement that indicated the future Hall of Famer might be looking to leave the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lakers fans shouldn’t forget about his LeCryptic tweets, his comments during All-Star weekend in Cleveland back in 2022, or even last week when he wore a “homecoming” hat while vacationing in Ohio. There has been plenty of sizzle, but no steak when it comes to LeBron leaving Los Angeles for essentially his entire time as a Laker.

After a cryptic statement upon LeBron James opting into his contract with the Lakers, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul made sure everyone knew that they haven’t requested a trade...yet.

Just to make things clear, there is no trade request from James. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has not formally asked out from the organization. For starters, the Warriors have been highlighted as one of the teams known to have done a double take about Rich Paul's comments following James accepting his player option for 2025-26.

LeBron James seemingly hinted at a trade request, and the Spurs have the assets to get a deal done. Is a trade to the Spurs possible?

LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers’ star player, recently gained major spotlight due to his contract decision. His agent, Rich Paul, announced that James will opt into his $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season.
