This week, it has been claimed that James has attracted interest from LA Lakers rivals, the Golden State Warriors.
According to NBA Insider Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors are planning to sign James in the offseason, when he becomes a free agent.
Fischer stated: "Sources say that the Warriors naturally do plan to feature prominently in the offseason market for LeBron James once he becomes an unrestricted free agent on June 30."
The rumours linking James with an exit away from the LA Lakers came after ESPN reported on an apparent feud between the 41-year-old and team governor Jeanie Buss.
It has been stated that there have been 'private frustrations' from Buss towards James over issues such as organisational control and the fallout of the Russell Westbrook trade.

In response, Buss released a statement to The Athletic.
It read: "It’s really not right, given all the great things LeBron has done for the Lakers, that he has to be pulled into my family drama.
"To say that it wasn’t appreciated is just not true and completely unfair to him."
Speaking about the James rumours, NBA insider Chris Haynes declared that something is about to go down.
As per Heavy, he said on SiriusXM NBA Radio: "I just question, ‘Why now?’. And if it’s ‘why now,’ usually when things like this start to trickle out, something’s about to go down. I don’t know what that is, but that’s usually how this works."
SPORTbible has contacted LeBron James' representatives for comment.
