The NBA offseason has slowed down from a roster movement perspective, but the rumor mill has still been working overtime. With the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James locked into a standoff, trade rumors and retirement rumors have been running rampant.

Per Vardon and Woike, the NBA's all-time leading scorer's lack of engagement on a potential exit and numerous barriers to the forward joining other teams will likely combine to keep him on Los Angeles into training camp.

With LeBron reportedly opting into his $52.6 million player option, he'll become the 1st player in NBA history to play a 23rd season.
