Los Angeles Lakers weigh roster moves as LeBron James' future hangs in balance and Myles Turner emerges as target

Agent Rich Paul told reporters he has not spoken with LeBron James about next season, but says the 41‑year‑old star is fielding interest from “about 10‑12 teams.” Paul added, “Believe nothing that’s out there because I haven’t had one conversation with him.” The uncertainty surrounds James’ contract with the Los Angeles Lakers as the NBA playoffs conclude.

Separately, the Lakers are reported to be pursuing Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner. Turner, 30, is on a three‑year, $83.6 million deal and is praised for his rim protection and ability to stretch the floor. Acquiring him would give Luka Dončić a complementary big man and address the Lakers’ front‑court deficiencies identified during the recent season.
