According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, there is another complicating factor. He was asked on "Get Up" if there is a market for James, and he said that there isn't.

LeBron James will be staying with the Los Angeles Lakers after picking up his $52.6 million player option for next season. This is not a surprising development for many reasons, one of which may be just how difficult it would be to trade the 40-year-old superstar even if that was a desired option.

Teams have reportedly expressed interest in trading for Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, who exercised his lucrative player option.
