Apart from the massive salary, LeBron has a no-trade clause in his contract.However, despite the four-time NBA champion’s decision to stay with the Lakers, his future with the Lakers remains uncertain, especially after his agent, Rich Paul, said that James wanted to win a championship.Bronny was also asked about his father’s future and the trade speculations floating around in the media.”We don’t really talk about it much,” Bronny said. “I think when stuff like that does come up, he just tells me not to worry about it, not to even pay attention to it [and] just lock into what you have going on right now. And that’s what’s going to get me better and to keep me focused. I think it’s good that he tells me to not pay attention to that stuff.”On July 2, ESPN’s Bobby Marks claimed there wasn’t much left in the market for James. However, Dave McMenamin later said on NBA Today that Rich Paul had revealed that four teams had already called to explore options to add LeBron James to their roster.
