On Feb. 20, James was interviewed in Cleve City, where a reporter asked James, 'Will you return to Cleveland for your third career as a Cavaliers?' LBJ replied, "The door to that thing is not closed." I'm not saying I'm going to come back to play, I don't know what my future holds. I will be a free agent in 2023, but I do not accept any form of middle-class contract and have no intention of accepting any contract under the maximum salary. ”
LeBron's remarks have sparked a huge buzz around the world, with the sunspots starting to say that LeBron sees the Cavaliers as a strong team in the East and wants to go back and hug their thighs. In fact, LBJ never promised that he would return to the Cavaliers, he said this to give Akron fans a hope, he may go back before retiring from his career, he also wants to play a season with his son. Why did Old Zhan say this? I think it has a deep meaning.
In a report by ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin, it was written that Rob Pelinka, vice president of operations for the Lakers, said that no operation before the Deadline for the Lakers' trading was the result of consultations with James and Thick Eyebrows, and our attitude was the same.
But an insider told reporters that James and Davis did not agree that the Lakers did not have any operation on the trade deadline, and in the days before the trade deadline, the Lakers locker room has realized that the lineup is not functioning, and it is necessary to make changes, only as a change to become a championship contender.
However, Pelinka did not complete any of the transaction operations, the previous discussion of Hield, Grant and other transactions will all be stranded, and the Lakers' skimming lineup has not changed because of nothing. LeBron is almost 38 years old, aren't you wasting his peak ending?
James said that the main factor in the failure to close the door of the Cavaliers is to sound the alarm bell for management: First, my contract will expire in the summer of 2023 and there is only one year left, and if you can't reconfigure the championship squad for me, I will most likely leave;
Second, I am 38 years old, I still want to attack the championship at the end of my career, how to rush to the championship with my skipped line-up? Who doesn't chill? Shouldn't management act?
This summer's offseason is critical, and Pelinka is bound to make a move, not knowing what the end will be like, but it is impossible to operate according to the 0 trade. To be honest, after winning the championship in the 19-20 season, you should not break up the winning lineup, otherwise there will be at least 2-3 times in the championship window.
