This year's All-Star is in Cleveland...
James was the king of the Western Conference, so it was natural to return to Cleveland.
Since arriving in Cleveland yesterday, James has been asked the same question: Will there be a possibility of returning to Cleveland in the future?
Today James finally gave a positive answer, saying: "The door to that matter is not closed. ”
James then added: "I'm not saying I'm going to come back to play, I don't know, I don't know what my future holds, I don't even know when I'm free. ”
Eh, I'm going to grab the question of when is free I will! According to the contract, James' contract with the Lakers ends in the summer of 2023, when he is a free agent.
That is to say, it is possible that James will leave the Lakers and return to the Cavaliers in 2023, of course, it is only possible.
James said he had no intention of accepting a middle-class contract, saying: "I don't play basketball with a middle-class contract, and when I sign a new contract, I won't accept any contract below the top salary." ”
In 2023, old Zhan will be 39 years old, do the secretaries think there will be a team willing to give him a maximum salary contract? How long is it?
However, James, who is now 37 years old, can average 29.1 points, 7.9 boards and 6.5 assists per game, so it is understandable that people do not accept the middle class.
For James to accept a maximum salary contract, it is estimated that there is only one situation, that is, to be able to play with Brownies.
James looks forward to the final season of his career, saying: "I will play with Brownie, I will go where Brownie is, I will be willing to do anything, just to play with Brownie for one season, then money is not a problem." 」 ”
Do you want James' general manager to understand? If you want to get old Zhan back, you only need to select Brownie in the 2023 draft, then James's return is not a problem, and there is no need to give the top salary, tempting no!
If James really leaves, then the Lakers will enter a long rebuilding period, right?
At that time, only one big player with thick eyebrows remained, and he was often injured. Not surprisingly, as long as James leaves, the Lakers should seek trading opportunities and send the thick eyebrows away, right?
Countdown to the demolition of the team!!!
James also commented on the current situation of the Cavaliers, praising it.
James said: "I think Kobe Altman and those old guys have done incredible things in terms of drafts and trades. The deal to bring in the big man (Jarrett Allen) was fantastic! Garland is a big-game player, and The presence of Love is also a good help for young people to grow. A champion player willing to come off the bench and sacrifice a lot will motivate young players to work harder. So, I'm not at all surprised by what they're doing now. ”
This remark of praising the operation of the Cavaliers management, I don't know if it has made the Lakers management feel bad.
James: You look at the big guys, you look at the young players.
