The NBA offseason has slowed down from a roster movement perspective, but the rumor mill has still been working overtime. With the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James locked into a standoff, trade rumors and retirement rumors have been running rampant.

Despite an offseason of rumors and speculation, LeBron James is expected to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2025-26 season, The Athletic reported Wednesday.

A review of the 2024-25 season for Quincy Olivari, who landed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers but was eventually waived.

However, Doncic is only under contract for one more year with a $45.9 million cap hit in 2025 (he also has a $48.9 million player option for 2026-27), and there hasn't been much talk about him signing a long-term contract extension with L.

While not everyone predicted that Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers would win a championship last year, many were certain the organization would at least advance to the second round of the playoffs.
