The Los Angeles Lakers appear to have made a final decision about when to move on from LeBron James which is sure to prompt NBA trade rumors.

If LeBron James wants to add to his NBA championship ring collection, which features one fewer than the late Kobe Bryant and two less than Micahel Jordan, then he must seriously consider splitting from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Ever since he opted into the final year of his contract, there have been rumors and evidence that things are not good between the Lakers and James. And a new report from ESPN NBA insiders Brian Windhorst and Ramona Shelburne on Friday claimed there is a defined “end date” in sight for the relationship.
