Latest Los Angeles Lakers rumors on LeBron James, trade talks and more

The latest Los Angeles Lakers rumors paint the picture of a franchise in flux that could undergo significant changes in the not-too-distant future.

The Los Angeles Lakers‘ 2018-19 NBA season has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. Based on the latest rumors, it looks like we could be headed for another loop that turns this organization upside down before the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline passes.

Then again, when it comes to rumors, everything must be taken with a grain of salt. That’s all the more true when the Lakers are involved. Every year it seems, they’re enveloped in rumors that suggest change is on the horizon. Sometimes they turn out to be true, but it hasn’t been as busy in recent years as most expect from this club.

Still, with LeBron James in town and Magic Johnson running the show, it’s anyone’s guess how crazy things could get in the coming months. For the time being though, we should be focused on figuring out what the Lakers’ plan is ahead of Feb. 7’s trade deadline.

Will Los Angeles make a blockbuster deal to acquire another superstar? Could one of the Lakers’ young playmakers be dealt to pave way for what may or may not be a brighter future? The possibilities are endless, but that doesn’t mean anything is actually going to happen.

The best thing to do right now is focus on what we do know. With that in mind, here are the latest Lakers rumors making their way around the interwebs. As has already been alluded to, be sure to take everything with a grain of salt.
