Even though this year's trading deadline has passed, the rumors about the Lakers have not stopped.
According to ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst, James' "main goal" in this offseason is to force the Lakers to push the blockbuster move and change the lineup:
In this report, Windhorst said that James will not force the Lakers to push for a trade by leaving the team, and it is still unknown how James will force the Lakers to change the lineup.
On the other hand, some time ago, James revealed his plans for the final stage of his career, and James said that his biggest wish is to play with his son Brownie James, and will do whatever it takes to fulfill this wish.
So how likely is it for James to do it? Or is Brownie still have a chance to break into the NBA? Us media Eric Pinkus said that several executives believe that brownies may be removed in the second round:
That being said, it can't be ruled out that some teams will sacrifice the first-round draft pick to take down the Brownies in order to get the "hosting rights" of James's retirement tour.
Finally, it is necessary to talk about the Lakers' tough player Malik Munch in an interview about his future in this Lakers:
"I love playing here, I'd love to keep playing here, but you never know how the NBA is going to change, it's just a business at the end of the day. I definitely love playing here, but I don't know how that's going to change in the future. ”
At present, Malik Munch has signed a one-year contract with the Lakers, which also means that he can become a free agent in this offseason, and considering his excellent performance so far this season, it is still unknown whether the Lakers can leave Munch with a guaranteed value.
