LeBron James was the talk of the town over the summer after his agent made a noncommittal statement regarding the forward's future with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors reportedly reached out about James' availability, though they were turned down as the organization and Paul denied the rumors.

In other news, Luka Doncic was praised by franchise legend Pau Gasol, another European great who donned the Purple and Gold.

Lakers fans will hope Doncic can deliver the same amount of success as Gasol did, if not more.
