LeBron James Could Leave The Lakers If They Can’t Compete For A Title originally appeared on Fadeaway World. LeBron James could soon face one of the most pivotal crossroads of his illustrious career: stay with a Los Angeles Lakers team prioritizing the future, or find a new home that allows him to chase one final championship before time runs out.

LeBron James opted into the final year of his player option with the Los Angeles Lakers over the weekend, and a statement put out by his agent, Rich Paul, made it seem like they could look for a new destination if the Lakers didn't upgrade the team in a significant way.

Teams have reportedly expressed interest in trading for Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, who exercised his lucrative player option.
