By the time James kept releasing negative and aggressive messages over the All-Star Weekend, his battle with lakers management had begun ahead of schedule. The origin of the battle is nothing more than the Lakers' poor record, and the management has done nothing before the trade deadline, leaving the 37-year-old James anxious as he watches the footsteps of chasing Jordan drift away. At the 75th Superstar Awards Ceremony in History, Jordan is still like the stars holding the moon, how can James not be in a hurry?
The famous Vinhhorst clearly pointed out the reason why james' team was angry. One is the lack of deal adjustments for the Lakers management, and the other is that Pelinka said in front of the media that there was no deal before the deal deadline, which was a consensus reached between him and Zhan Mei.
James believes that Pelinka lied in order to get rid of responsibility. So, James' team released the news that Pelinka was lying, and he did not respect Zhan Mei's opinion at all. And Pelinka, the so-called speaker, is actually just a microphone for the boss Jenny Bass and the executor behind the scenes, Mr. and Mrs. Lambis. Such an operation undoubtedly ignited the war between James and the Lakers management.
Taking a step back, this is just a small thing in itself, and James and Lakers management do not need to declare war publicly. But the difficulty of the problem, the difficulty is that both sides are strong teams. The Bass family has been working in Los Angeles for many years, and they are the owners of the Lakers, and the strength is naturally needless to say; the James team has always been a master of manipulating the direction of the wind, with many successful cases and maintaining close contact with media reporters. Once the two sides exchange fire, it will inevitably cause turmoil.
James' speech over All-Star Weekend, in the eyes of many, was his "active offense." The Lakers management is not a vegetarian either, and media opinion is starting to change again.
For example, according to Eric Pincus, a reporter for "Open-Air Grandstand Sports", James and Rich Paul's dissatisfaction with Pelinka has been brewing for a long time, and when Pelinka refuses to use Wei Shao to sign Wale in the first round of 2027, the contradictions between the two sides are revealed. More importantly, Wall is a player at Klutch Agency.
Immediately, Rich Paul quickly found the famous A Smith and asked him to clarify himself in the show, "Do me a favor, just say that I said it." Tell the world, I've said publicly, that's a damn lie. We never forced the Lakers to pack up and trade Wall. ”
In addition, New York Times reporter Mark Stein reported that although the James team has strong control, the Lakers management is not a vegetarian. 'They can kick the meritorious Jerry West out of the game and treat James in the same way.
Vinhorst continued to say that James didn't want to leave the Lakers, he just wanted to put pressure on management and want the team to operate this summer. "Open-air Grandstand Sports" reporter Jake Fischer said that if James refused to renew his contract with the Lakers this summer, then his departure from the Lakers is basically a fact.
Immediately after that, there was the position of Shams, who bluntly stated that he and Rich Paul had already talked, that there was no problem between James's team and the Lakers management, and there was no problem between Klutch Brokerage and Pelinka. At least in his opinion, James will not leave the Lakers in the short term.
Lakers reporter Bill Oram described the current situation of the James team and lakers management. "James and Rich Paul have been in control of the Lakers and the situation is already very tense. James' team's control over the Lakers is even tougher than Kobe Bryant was. A source close to the Lakers believes that the situation on both sides is comparable to the early days of the war. ”
Although James and Pelinka have constantly reiterated that there is no grudge between them, various news show that the rift between James and the Lakers management has become obvious. Next, if the Lakers' operations are adjusted and the performance trend is better, this rift may be able to be repaired. But if the problem continues to expand, the war will move from the beginning to the official war.
