LeBron James is in the middle of a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, who could renew a two-year, $97 million contract with the Lakers this summer, and James' recent all-Star speech sparked controversy.
James has said that if possible, there is a goal, is to hope to play with his son, "I will play with my son in the last year, no matter where brownies go, I will go back together, in order to be able to play with my son for a year, I am willing to do anything, this matter has nothing to do with money." 」 ”
James' eldest son, Brownie, is now a senior in high school and cannot participate in the draft until the summer of 2024 at the earliest according to NBA rules; James' contract with the Lakers ends in the summer of 2023.
LeBron also said that he wants to clarify his role in the Lakers, and Lakers president Pelinka revealed that he may consult with James and the thick eyebrow brother on the personnel decision, but James said that the personnel aspect is still the responsibility of Pelinka and other members of the Lakers management.
"I'm not the one who makes the decision with the button," James said, "and they ask me for my opinion, and I say it, but I'm not the one who decides, it's up to management." ”
The Lakers' record dropped to 27-32 after losing to the Clippers, a failed season that was the source of much speculation about his future. James said injuries have ruined his chances to build cohesion with Davis and Westbrook, who have had an 11-9 record in the 20 games the Big Three have played together this season.
Zhan Huang said, "I really hope we can play better, especially when I, Davis and Wei Shao are on the floor. But by far the biggest disappointment is that we haven't really worked together yet. "They've done it, they've proven it to me, and since I came here, jenny Bass, Linda Lambis, Kurt Lambis and other management have welcomed me with open arms and given me the opportunity to play for this team with a long history." I'm just trying to reward the characters in the game and inspire those teammates, which has always been my focus. ”
There are rumors that the relationship between the Lakers and Klutch has fallen to a low point, and the latter has a lot of opinions about Pelinka's deal with Westbrook and Wall. Ritchie Paul recently clarified the rumor, "There is no problem between me and Pelinka. There was no problem between LeBron James and Pelinka. There was no problem between Jenny Bass, LeBron and Rich Paul. The situation is simple. It's very simple. So people are all pacing, and I think that's unfair to the Lakers. ”
Paul met with Lakers management on Tuesday and had a positive meeting, and when asked about the meeting, James said, "I think it's important that we're always transparent between us and don't really care about outside noise, and a lot of people are just jealous of Paul's relationship with management." My relationship with management has been a big reason for my growth over the past four years. ”
