LeBron James has been the face of the Los Angeles Lakers since arriving in Hollywood in 2018. He won the organization its first title in a decade in 2020 and turned in another strong performance last year in his age-40 season.

The NBA legend was spotted at the Cavaliers’ practice facility in a photo posted online alongside Cleveland summer league invite Denver Jones on Friday. Despite trade rumors swirling around him, James shut down any notion that him being in his hometown was anything other than his usual offseason activity.

LeBron James opting into his player contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, followed by a statement released by his agent, has fueled trade and buyout rumors for the last week. He wants the best possible chance to compete for a championship, and even though the Lakers now have Luka Doncic, the rest of the roster is discombobulated, at best.
