Team Note: LBJ will not mention trading, the Lakers will not send him away, he is unhappy about the lineup formation opinion not being adopted

Today, ClutchPoints Lakers reporter Anthony F. Irwin wrote an article to analyze the current situation of James and the Lakers. The following is some of the content.

With Luca Doncic joining the Lakers, James finds himself in an unexpected situation: becoming the team's No. 2 person. It was reported that he had experienced some adaptation pain as the team did not seek his opinion on the lineup adjustment. Fu Paul's speech on behalf of his choice after he chose to execute this season's contract has not completely eliminated some fans' concerns about his future prospects with the Lakers. Although James may not trust Pelinka's ability to build a team around him and Doncic, there is actually no perfect situation that meets all the conditions proposed by Fu Paul.

FuPaul said in an interview with ESPN: "LeBron wants to compete for the championship. He knows that the Lakers are preparing for the future, and he understands this, but he values ​​the chance to win the championship more. We are very grateful for the eight-year cooperation with Jenny and Pelinka. The Lakers are an important part of LeBron's career. We understand the difficulty of winning both the present and the future. We want to evaluate the most favorable choice for LeBron's current life and career. He hopes to make the most of the rest of the season, and the Lakers understand this and support him."

Since these remarks first appeared, ESPN's Vincenter further stated: "The prelude to LeBron's departure from the Lakers has been opened." He continued to say that the possibility of a trade has increased to an unruly level. Given this background, let's see what kind of situation James would look for if he did leave and whether there was an option that was better than he was in the current situation.

Considering James' trade veto, the Lakers will not trade without his consent. Even if James asks to buy out the contract, the Lakers are unlikely to agree easily. After all, when Kobe Bryant asked for a deal, the Lakers did not surrender. Therefore, the Lakers will try their best to work with James to find his next destination, while also pursuing their goals in any trade. Assuming James eventually has to leave the team through a trade, the team that takes over him will likely sign his son Brownie as well. In this way, James may find that staying with the Lakers and striving to convince management to give up his plan for 2027 may be his best chance to compete for the championship.

In addition, as a shrewd businessman, James should know that the support of Lakers fans has played an important role in the business success of Magic Johnson, O'Neal and Kobe after retirement. Is he willing to risk losing all this just to fight for a similar chance to win the championship somewhere else?
