Recently, the Los Angeles Lakers and their superstar LeBron James have been in the spotlight of basketball across the United States.

David Pingalore, a veteran journalist from KTLA, has 25 years of basketball reporting experience. He not only witnessed James' glory in the Cavaliers 1.0 period, but also experienced the important moments when James joined the Heat, returned to the Cavaliers, and Xiaoka joined the Clippers in 2019. Now, he's stepped up again and gives us a first-hand look at James' trade prospects.

Netizens turned out their past reports:

1. February 2012: "I was told that James had the idea of returning to the Cavaliers in two years"

2. February 2018: "The Lakers are helping LeBron, the Lakers are becoming James' favorite team, and the Lakers will be his next team"

3. Between June 28 and July 1, 2019, he tweeted continuously: "Xiaoka tends to sign with the Clippers and has no intention of joining the Lakers at all. ”

According to Pingalore's Twitter, the Lakers' current top trade target is their 39-year-old veteran James. Pelinka, the team's general manager, is actively looking for a suitable trading partner, and now there seems to be a close suitor. The news undoubtedly shocked the entire basketball world.

In the game between the Lakers and the Hawks, the Lakers lost 122-138 and suffered a 2-game losing streak. Perhaps out of dissatisfaction with the current state of the team, James updated his personal social media at 2:26 a.m. after the game, posting an hourglass emoji: ". ⌛ Does this countdown sign mean James is counting down his time with the Lakers?

Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin tweeted the "⌛" emoji:

- Time is running out to turn the Lakers' slump around this season;

- LeBron's career is a non-renewable resource, so it's time to make the most of what's left;

- Patience is running out;

In the last game, James shot 7-of-17 and got 20 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Despite his all-round performance, his turnovers and defensive problems persisted. Such a performance is not easy for a 39-year-old veteran, but can the Lakers really go far in the playoffs?

Now, the Lakers face a difficult choice. Should they trade the legendary stars they have fallen behind in exchange for younger, more promising players and draft picks? or should they trust James and believe he can lead the team to glory?

In this regard, sports person Bao Renjun shared his opinion: A friend passed on the news to me that the Lakers are interested in trading James. Although the source of this information is only two unknown whistleblowers, why can it still arouse heated discussions among the majority of netizens? For the Lakers, they're either chasing a championship or a box office, and if the owner is really stupid enough to want nothing, he's really getting kicked in the head by a donkey. Because even if James is traded, he may not be able to win the championship, and if he does not trade, he can at least guarantee a certain amount of box office revenue.

Regardless of the outcome, we must admit that LeBron James has left a mark on the history of the NBA. Every appearance and every game of his play deserves our appreciation and cherishment. And his future will undoubtedly be the focus of our continued attention.
