Beijing time on February 24 news, including ESPN, there are multiple sources mentioned that LeBron James is dissatisfied with the Los Angeles Lakers' failure to promote a transaction before the trade deadline, so what kind of deal is this?
Not long ago, a reporter mentioned that the deal that the Lakers rejected was the deal that Westbrook exchanged from the Houston Rockets back to Wall, which was exactly what James hoped to happen.
In fact, james and the Lakers have been competing for some time on whether to trade or not, but in the end Pelinka refused to use Westbrook plus a possible 2027 first-round pick to return to the Houston Rockets' Wall (Wall is a Klutch customer). Because in the eyes of the Lakers, although Wall can average 20.6 points and 6.9 assists per game before, it is not appropriate from the team's point of view, and replacing Westbrook means that the team has to make a major adjustment again, and Wall has not played for a while. ”
"But they don't want to make this company Klutch think so, they feel that this transaction can not only extract the value of their customer Wall, but also improve the Lakers' current plight." Eric Pincus, from Open-Air Grandstand Sports, wrote in his article.
In the eyes of some industry insiders, Pelinka's refusal to do so is also based on the perspective of being responsible for the long-term interests of the team, which is understandable, you know, James is 37 years old.
