NBA offseason has been awash with activity, reshaping the basketball landscape and forever keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Could Golden State enter the sweepstakes to land James? They've called the Lakers regarding a trade for the four-time champion previously. This time around, they can try and secure a deal using restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski.

The most-likely scenario, according to Dan Woike and Joe Vardon of The Athletic, is James stays put and the Lakers see how far they can get next season with a core of James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and Rui Hachimura, plus free-agent additions Deandre Ayton and Jake LaRavia.
