Rumors broke last season of blockbuster trade talks that would have seen LeBron James traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Golden State Warriors. It was reported at the time that talks were serious enough that Lakers and Warriors ownership were involved in the discussion. In the end, the Lakers would have moved James only had he requested a deal got done to send him to the Warriors. Ultimately, no agreement was reached and James stayed in Los Angeles. That may have been in part because James’ agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports was against the idea of a…
