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 and retirement rumors have been running rampant.

Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor feels that the NBA will get a heads up before LeBron James retires because the Los Angeles Lakers star will want to end his playing career with a "farewell tour."

With the Los Angeles Lakers moving closer to signing Marcus Smart, that could be very good news for Bronny James. He may have been the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, but Bronny James still faced a huge amount of pressure right from the start.

Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas is not letting the media off the hook when it comes to the ring culture debate in the NBA.

Despite the reports, he remains on the Lakers roster and was present for the team's NBA Summer League game on July 14. According to an article from The Athletic's Dan Woike and Joe Vardon, the Lakers haven't officially talked about trading their superstar forward and are moving forward with the idea of him on the roster.
