No, the Los Angeles Lakers haven't parted ways with LeBron James. He's still with the Lakers, slated to play this season on his $52.6 million player option. NBA Centel, the parody account, posted the fake news that has been viewed more than a million times.

Among those who did not know in advance that the Lakers were trading for Doncic was LeBron James. ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst reported that James did not know, but also didn't mind in the end after the trade was finalized.

If LeBron James wants to add to his NBA championship ring collection, which features one fewer than the late Kobe Bryant and two less than Micahel Jordan, then he must seriously consider splitting from the Los Angeles Lakers.
