James Lakers career countdown? US media lists 5 major trading plans: 1 for 2 joins the Warriors and joins Curry

On July 1, the 2025 NBA free agent market officially opened, and the Lakers' signings suffered consecutive setbacks. Famous reporters bluntly stated that James' Lakers era was about to end. Knicks former player Pinson tweeted that LeBron was leaving the Lakers.

40-year-old James has implemented a player option worth $52.6 million in the last year, and has a trade veto and a 15% trade margin. However, James is still evaluating his future and is paying close attention to Pelinka's operations because James hopes to compete for the championship in the new season. If the Lakers are still mediocre, James may apply to leave the team.

Regarding James' situation, famous reporter Brian Windhorst said on the show: I didn't mean to lead the war, this is the fact. James' Lakers era will enter the countdown.

29-year-old Theo Pingsen tweeted: LeBron is leaving the Los Angeles Lakers; Pingsen once played for the Nets, the Knicks and the Mavericks, but he has been away from the NBA for a long time, and the last time he played in the NBA was 2 years ago.

The US media "Open-Air Stand" lists a trading plan for James to join the Warriors 1 for 2 - James left the Lakers to join the Warriors, the Lakers got Butler and Post, and James joined forces with Curry? This trading idea is really crazy.

"Open-air Stand" also lists four other trading plans -

1. The Mavericks get James, Gafford, PJ Washington, Marshall, Martin and the 2029 unprotected first-round pick to the Lakers

2. The Cavaliers get James, Garland, Allen and Hunter give to the Lakers, and the third party receives salary matching chips

3. The Spurs get James, Sohan, Wassel and Kyldon Johnson Sent to the Lakers

4, the Knicks got James, and sent Anunobi, Mitchell Robinson and other chips to the Lakers

In the free agent market, the Lakers used only two years and $12 million to sign Laravia, losing Finney Smith (3 years and $53 million to join the Rockets), and target centers such as Capela (3 years and $21.5 million to sign first and then exchanged for the Rockets) and Lopez (2 years and $18 million to join the Clippers) were also stolen.

The Lakers' signings have suffered consecutive setbacks, and there are not many high-quality players left in the free market. Who else can Pelinka sign or what deal can it lead to? Let's wait and see.
