Judging from recent media reports, there is a crack in james's relationship with the Lakers. The Lakers' management wanted to throw the pot of the failed lineup to James, saying that all the operations were discussed with James and obtained James's consent. James, on the other hand, said that Pelinka and lakers management were lying, they did not seek James's consent, and James did not meddle in the operation of the team.
On the one hand, there is a suspicion of a palace fight between the Lakers management and James, on the other hand, James praised the Cavaliers on personal social media and recalled the glory days in the Cavaliers, so many fans and media believe that James has the possibility of returning to the Cavaliers.
Recently, when James was interviewed by The Athletic, he was asked whether he would join the Cavaliers for the third time. James said: "The door is not closed. I'm not saying I'm going to come back and play, I don't know, I don't know what the future holds, I don't even know when I'm going to be a free agent. James then stressed that the issue is not being considered at the moment, but does not rule out this possibility. James said he may sign a 1-day contract with the Cavaliers to retire, or it may be a longer contract.
Cavaliers reporter Jason Lloyd responded to James's remarks, and when it came to the question of whether James would return to the Cavaliers, he mainly mentioned 2 aspects. First of all, Jason Lloyd believes that the Cavaliers will not break up the current lineup for James again. Secondly, Jason Lloyd believes that James will still seek a maximum salary in his next contract, and the Cavaliers will have a hard time meeting James' salary requirements.
Fat Ding was more sympathetic to the knight reporter's opinion. If James were three or five years younger, the Cavaliers might be willing to pay anything to sign James. But now James' appeal is clearly not going to let the Cavaliers break up this ascending lineup for him. Fat Ding believes that James will sign a symbolic 1-day contract with the Cavaliers in the future, and it is more likely that he will choose to retire. Although James played for the Heat, the Lakers, and all won championships for the team. But in the history of the Heat and the Lakers, James is obviously not able to rank at the top. And on the Cavaliers, James is their greatest player so far, not one of them.
