February 15th News: Today, The Athletic tracked the relationship between the Lakers and LeBron James. According to ESPN's report, the Warriors had inquired about the possibility of trading for James before the trade deadline, but were subsequently rebuffed by the Lakers.
Meanwhile, according to multiple team sources, the Lakers insist that they have no intention of trading James. They would prefer to see James retire as a Laker – on Wednesday, a high-ranking team official reiterated this position to The Athletic.
