LeBron James made the surprising decision to pick up his $52.6 million player option instead of signing a new max deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Stephen Curry injured his hamstring in the series opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves and fell 4-1. Looking to add more firepower, Warriors fans are suggesting a trade after a recent report that LeBron James had picked up his $52.6 million player option, but is uncertain about the Lakers' roster.

The Lakers acquired Luka Dončić at the trade deadline. Dončić is 26. If the Lakers manage their roster around him properly, they could contend with him for the next 8-10 years. James might only have 8-10 months.
