A local reporter in Los Angeles named Pingacore tweeted: "The Lakers' priority is to trade the 39-year-old James, and Pelinka is looking for the right team." ”
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
The Lakers dared to trade James and eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?
The reporter's news is still relatively reliable, such as James returned to the Cavaliers in 14, joined the Lakers in 18, and signed with the Clippers in 19.
James has a player option this summer and is thought to be likely to play alongside his son Bronny, who is expected to enter the NBA this year, and thus deny early entry to free agency next season's $50.43 million.
If James leaves as a free agent, it means the Lakers can't trade him for anything back.
Therefore, it has long been suggested that the Lakers should make a strong move and send James away before the trade deadline this year.
At present, fans of many teams are recruiting James and posting various P pictures.
What's more, James is advised to bring his talent to Miami again!
However, only the fans are carnivalesque, and other media people in the industry are still more rational and have a relatively conservative attitude.
thinks that James's value is incomparable, he can not only bring championships but also harvest the box office, and no matter how bad it is, at least he can sell tickets, and the Lakers will take the initiative to trade him away when their brains are caught by the door.
But seeing that the Lakers without James Mei can take out the Green Army at the top of the Eastern Conference 114-105, will those media people who are sure that James will not be traded away change their minds?
Reaves scored 32 points on 7 three-pointers, 31 points on 33-point shooting from the opposite side, and Russell scored 16 points and 14 assists, leading the team as a commander.
"I wanted to play as an ordinary player, but in exchange for doubts. Don't pretend, we're the Lakers twins, and we're having a showdown. ”
Just kidding, although it is indeed surprising that the Lakers can win the Green Army without Zhan Mei.
But a regular season game doesn't mean anything, and everyone has times when they eat dumplings or are in a slump.
Jaylen Brown, who has an annual salary of more than $60 million, only scored 8 points, and it is difficult to have anything to do with winning.
When everyone was discussing whether the Lakers should trade James, the next door unknowingly announced that a deal had been completed.
The Grizzlies used "Aquaman" Adams to trade All-Star guard Oladipo + 3 second-round picks from the Rockets.
Adams and Oladipo are both out for the season and haven't played a game so far this year.
Why the Grizzlies got Oladipo is not known for the time being, but the Rockets' exchange for Adams is a meaningful and targeted reinforcement.
Wait until next season for the Rockets to put on a twin-tower lineup of Shen Jing + Adams to improve the team's height and interior ability to grab boards and protect the frame.
So where should little Jabari, who has partnered with Shen Jing this season, go?
If Jabari Jr. is a substitute next season, it will be a bit too extravagant, and people will not be happy.
In short, this year's NBA trade deadline is full of suspense, and it may really be beyond imagination, and even upend the current league landscape.
Just because James has entered the court, public opinion in the outside world has put him on the shelf, and he and the Lakers have not stood up to firmly refute the rumors until now.
The annual show is about to be staged, everyone is ready to wait and see!
