News broke on Sunday that LeBron James is opting into the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers (H/T Shams Charania of ESPN) at $52.6 million. While that was the expected outcome, several NBA executives and agents found it odd that he didn't appear to have his usual negotiating leverage.

This NBA analyst proposes a trade that will give LeBron James a storybook ending to his career with the Cavaliers.

James was of the league's top players in his 22nd season, averaging 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds. He is reportedly uncertain about the Lakers' roster moving forward and is keeping track of the franchise's free agency moves this month leading up to next season.
