Zhan Huang's "power" in the Lakers is better than Kobe Bryant, Rose: wants to win the championship and get a basic salary back to the Cavaliers
"ESPN" veteran reporter Brian Windhorst recently wrote a long article detailing how the league's first brother, LeBron James, pressured the Lakers to force the top to take a big move this summer. Bill Oram, a reporter for The Athletic, is more blunt than the late legend Kobe Bryant, as can be seen from the fact that he helped plan the "Westbrook" deal last year.
James's dissatisfaction with the Lakers' top management 'inaction' before the trade deadline has recently surfaced, as a "media operation master", he has publicly stated that he does not rule out returning to the starting team before retirement, and then deliberately mentioned that his knee injury may plague him until the end of the season, ESPN senior reporter Windhorst believes that all his actions are forcing Los Angeles to make big moves this offseason.
James has been "pressuring" the team's top brass for many years, and in the four seasons after he returned to the Cavaliers that year, Cleveland used up to 7 first-round picks to meet his reinforcement needs. "The Athletic" reporter Olam bluntly said that even the past "black mamba" Kobe Bryant did not have the same power as "Zhan Huang" in the Lakers, "Brian has never been able to force the Lakers to trade like James, just like he helped plan the Russell Westbrook deal, which has proved to be a complete disaster." ”
Former New York Times reporter Marc Stein has revealed that it was the Lakers' two top players, James and Anthony Davis, who persuaded the team to "stud" in exchange for "Westbrook", sending away Kyle Kuzma, former best sixth man Montrezl Harrell, shooter Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and the 2021 first round No. 22 pick, general manager Pelinka ( Rob Pelinka's original plan was to go after King shooter Buddy Hield.
Whether James will leave the Lakers has become one of the hottest topics lately, and what is certain is that even as his career draws to a close, his strong desire for a championship remains the same, with former NBA player Jalen Rose suggesting, "If he really wants to win another championship, do you know what he needs to do?" Get a basic salary and go to Cleveland. ”
The Cavaliers have a very talented team, rushing to the 4th place in the Eastern Conference this season, but James is still the first person in the league, and he may not be able to join any team with a "basic salary".
