James opted into his contract but is reportedly watching the Lakers' offseason moves closely. Will the NBA's biggest star demand a trade?

Rumors that the Los Angeles Lakers will trade four-time NBA champion LeBron James have spread as the 20-time NBA All-Star enters the final seasons of his career. James reportedly exercised his $52.6 million player option on Sunday but has expressed he wants to win another NBA title before retiring.

At least for now, the relationship between LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers may not be in an ideal place after he picked up his player option, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick.
