The Los Angeles Lakers may shock the basketball world once again.
Despite being considered by many as the greatest basketball player of all-time, LeBron James could allegedly find himself in trade conversations this summer.
The Lakers forward and NBA all-time scorer is reportedly not untouchable, according to a report by Bleacher Report's Jovan Buha, senior Lakers reporter.
Just months after the Lakers traded Anthony Davis for Luka Dončić, they have now seemingly made James available for trade.
This could mean the Lakers are looking to move in a different direction, and bring in the long-awaited big man the team so desperately needs.
Or it could simply mean they value Dončić's youth rather than James's age.

Right now, Lebron James is one of two players with a no-trade clause as a part of his contract, meaning he can deny any trade if he doesn’t want to be sent to a specific team.
However, this now means the Lakers will be listening to offers on the all league all time leading scorer.
Speculating on what a package for James should look like would be interesting. Teams will value him differently because of his age and uncertainty about when to wave the white flag.
If they decide to pull the trigger on a trade to send Lebron elsewhere, it will be one of the biggest moves in the league's history.
More importantly, fans would look back on the half-season Dončić and James spent together, and fantasize about what could have been.
