The sports rumor mills have been buzzing today with possibility of current Miami Heat all-star, LeBron James opting out of his contract. It's no secret James and current New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony are close friends, but the situation wasn't ideal for him before to take the leap to the Big Apple. That may have changed with Phil Jackson signing on. After all, who wouldn't want to play for the most winning-est coach in the NBA's history. But the other rumor is he may also be looking to go to the Lakers. Los Angeles is currently trying to rebuild their team and their willingness to pay for high profile players might also be enticing to King James.

Although this information is said to have come from a "close-confidant" of James according to www.lakersnation.com, at this point, it's still just hearsay. After all, considering the outcome of this year's NBA finals, why would the best basketball player in the world leave the team that has already helped him earn 2 championships?
