After dealing with criticism throughout the year, the Los Angeles Lakers only came second to the eventual champions Denver Nuggets. And a lot of that credit goes to their star player, LeBron James. The Lakers also had major contributions from role players like Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt, and others. However, with James on his trip through Europe, fans are wondering if the team would finally be looking to move on from one particular Lakers star.

LeBron James achieved a historic feat at LeMans a few days ago. LBJ waved the tricolor flag to kick off this year?s event. And now, the Lakers star has made his way to Paris with his bling shining through the city. But the latest Lakers Instagram post has fans speculating about LeBron James? teammate?s future with the team.

Will LeBron James and the Lakers move on from this player?

The Los Angeles Lakers are one team that is expected to win it all every other season. If the team ends up achieving anything less, then the whole season tends to be perceived as a big failure. This also goes with signing free agents as Lakers fans are privy to having All-Stars play for the team. And every year, Los Angeles? name is tossed in as one of the front runners for signing big-name free agents.

So, when it comes to shaking up their roster, the Lakers do not hesitate on pulling the trigger. Even if it is someone who has contributed well over the year, like Jarred Vanderbilt. In the post on Instagram, Vanderbilt could be seen clicking a picture and dapping it up with LeBron James in Paris.
