CBS Sports’ Ashley Nicole Moss recently floated the idea of James abandoning Luka Doncic and the Lakers and inking a deal with the organization that selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 draft.

A new NBA rumor claims LeBron James has no intention of taking the major contract discount he was open to last year to help the Los Angeles Lakers make a big addition this offseason.

After that, however, their priority will be to ensure superstar LeBron James finishes his career in Los Angeles. If James were to return to the Lakers, he would enter his eighth season in L.A. That would be the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer's most seasons with one team during one stint.
