The Los Angeles Lakers came close to signing veteran big man Brook Lopez, but the deal reportedly fell through due to Lopez’s concerns about the uncertainty surrounding LeBron James’ contract situation.

Lakers' LeBron James Drawing Trade Interest From 4 Teams originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Bucks have already kicked the tires by waiving and stretching Damian Lillard, and Kevin Durant is now a member of the Houston Rockets. However, they might not be the only big-name players on the move this offseason.

The superstar maintains flexibility over the coming months while Los Angeles builds a competitive roster aimed at navigating a strong Western Conference.
