[Woike] Here's why the Lakers believe LeBron James will not ask to be traded.

In a nutshell, it's about Bronny. Woike says the Bronny situation could have been a disaster but "it hasn't been close to one". Says "Bronny is "well-liked in the locker room, and the team has supported LeBron James and his desires to be with his son. It was on full display in Bronny James’ last two games and the bench’s reactions."

So the Lakers are hopeful that LeBron will not want to upset this applecart with his son.
