Although the overtime reversal of the Knicks in the just-concluded game scored a wonderful victory, the current situation of the Los Angeles Lakers is still unclear. Westbrook was once again pressed to the bench by the coaching staff in the decisive moment of the game, and the NBA's all-time triple-double king's contract of more than 40 million next year became a heavy shackle for the Lakers. To know that the Lakers' current third scoring point Monk is still taking a basic salary contract, next year the Lakers are almost unable to keep him. Under such circumstances, it seems difficult for the Lakers to return to the first echelon in these two seasons. James has a year and a half left on his contract, and his future, now 37, is becoming uncertain. After winning the championship in the 19-20 season, most of the media believe that James will end his career at the Lakers, but now the situation has changed. According to well-known journalist Peter Dewey, LeBron James has now begun to consider options for leaving the Lakers.
According to the reporter's report, LeBron James is very much looking forward to competing with his eldest son, Brownie James, in the NBA. It is reported that LeBron James is willing to play for a team that can select Brownie, and if the Lakers can't do it, he is willing to go to other teams to achieve this goal. James's hope to play in the NBA at the same time as his son is not news, and as Brownie grows and James still maintains excellent form at the age of 37, it is more and more likely that the Jenns will compete on the same stage. Brownie, born in 2004, just turned 17 this year, less than two years before he entered the NBA, and James' contract just ended at that time, which seems to confirm the veracity of this report. If James leaves the Lakers, it will obviously be a major blow to this Los Angeles giants team.
Brownie James, 17, currently plays at Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles, but his all-American player rankings this year are not ideal. At the beginning of his freshman year of high school, Brownie was still in the top ten of the national high school student rankings, but now he is only in fifty places. You should know that this list only includes the same american high school students, and does not include other talented players around the world. With sixty seats in the NBA Draft, Brownie's current strength seems to be ironclad. Unlike his father, LeBron, who showed great talent in high school, Brownie grew up slower. Although he has made a huge leap in physical fitness in high school and can already complete difficult dunks, Brownie's meniscus tear injury obviously makes him lack first-class physical fitness.
In fact, as far as Brownie's current strength is concerned, the cost of selecting him is not high, and it is likely to sign with a second-round pick or as a lost draft. If the Lakers want to keep James, the most urgent thing for them is to restore competitiveness as soon as possible and return to the championship queue. In this summer's offseason, Westbrook's top salary big contract will enter the final season, and if nothing else, more teams will be willing to take his big contract. But for the Lakers, they have to do more than just get rid of Westbrook's big contract, they also need to complete the reinforcement through this deal. In any case, the Lakers' four-for-one trade back to Westbrook last summer is likely to cause the Lakers of the Zhan Mei combination to close the title competition window early.
