?LeBron Gone?: Major News Stuns Lakers Nation as LeBron James? Future Rumored to Be in Doubt With Russell Westbrook Update

Something is going on in the minds of the Los Angeles Lakers front office. According to a recent report, the Lakers are looking at trade options for their players, but interestingly not for Russell Westbrook. Currently, the Lakers currently sit at the bottom of the Western Conference and are on a three-game losing streak, disappointing their supporters with a 2-8 record so far. Furthermore, the fans feel like the future of LeBron James with the Lakers is in doubt.

Russell Westbrook didn’t have a good pre-season and there were efforts by the Lakers to try and trade him off. Starting off the season, Westbrook’s performances arguably didn’t complement his $47 million salary.

But in the Lakers’ last three games, Westbrook seems to have owned the colors and his new role off the bench, as he averaged 22.3 points, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Fans are concerned regarding LeBron James’ future

On November 8th, Lakers Daily reported on the Los Angeles Lakers‘ upcoming trade decisions. A portion of the report says, “In addition, sources have told Hoops Wire the Lakers are exploring trades of players other than Westbrook, again, if it means improving the roster now. Problem is, aside from Anthony Davis and LeBron James, there aren?t many Lakers that other teams would want.”?

NBA Central posted a link to the news on Twitter. And in no time the NBA world joined in slamming the Lakers’ front office. The tweet currently has 1,300 likes and 130 retweets. One of the fans said, “Lebron gone.”

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

It is evident that the fans seem disappointed with the potential decision. And many can be seen saying that they want Westbrook off the team. At the same time, it feels like the Lakers have something up their minds. Furthermore, Westbrook is looking in good form at the moment. In their last game against the Utah Jazz, in the absence of LeBron James, Westbrook dropped 22 points. Though it was not enough for the Lakers in the end, as the Jazz won 139-116.
