This news is an indication that the Lakers are ready to move on from LeBron. This is likely the reason why they traded Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic last season.

LeBron is still playing at a high level but his play isn’t turning into victories as it once did. This, to go along with turning 41 this season, could be the end of LeBron’s career in LA as a Laker.
