LeBron James’ agent, Rich Paul, recently made headlines for suggesting that the Los Angeles Lakers should trade Austin Reaves.

This caused a negative reaction among Lakers fans, and it even had Reaves’ agent reaching out to Paul. The Lakers themselves were reportedly frustrated by Paul’s comments, and ultimately, all eyes fell on LeBron.

“I think you all know by now, Rich is his own man and what Rich says is not a direct reflection of me and how I feel,” LeBron said. “And I hope people know that. I hope people know that and if they’re not sensible to know that, then I don’t know what to tell them.”

The Lakers continue to look for ways to improve this season, and Reaves will likely remain on the roster, despite what LeBron’s agent says.
