There are conflicting reports coming out about the future of LeBron James with the Los Angeles Lakers. According to some, the four-time NBA champion reportedly wants to be a Laker for the foreseeable future.

While others suggest that James wants to replace the team’s general manager Rob Pelinka with another executive, possibly Oklahoma’s Sam Presti.

LeBron’s former teammate in Cleveland and Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal thinks that Los Angeles must keep James in order to win.

Via Jessica Golden of CNBC:

“If you trade LeBron, you’ll never win again,” O’Neal said of the Lakers in an interview with CNBC.

“If you put LeBron around the right guys, they are definitely going to win,” he said. “I think whoever put the team together needs to step up and try and fix it.”
