Amico: James is almost zero in chance of being traded

July 6th news Earlier, well-known sports reporter Sam Amico said that the possibility of the Lakers trading LeBron James is almost zero, but nothing is possible. But James' current words and deeds are more like "playing" with fans.

This summer, 40-year-old James chose to execute his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers. Sam Amico thinks that the Lakers will be the team James plays for next season: "But I can't say I'm 1000% sure. Looking back on 2014, I was very confident that James would leave the Heat and return to the Cavaliers - and did have some internal information."

"Now? There is no source of the year. I tend to be LeBron will stay with the Lakers, very inclined. But whether he is now likes a specific Inst photo or a photo leak in the Cavaliers training hall, these are all carefully created. He has fun and he has played clearly."

In addition, Sam Amico also commented on James' current "words and deeds": "To some extent, it seems like he is playing with fans. Of course, this is not malicious, but his usual way of 'mobilizing public opinion' - this series of rumor about James' next family is not accidental. He knows what he is doing, and he knows how to keep the fans fermenting his topic. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with this. As I heard James say in person: this is just basketball."

As for James' true thoughts? ESPN internal sources Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst wrote in their co-written report: "The possibility of James being traded is not completely zero - after all, in the NBA where Doncic is traded, everything is possible - but given LeBron's high salary and the non-trade clauses in the contract, the possibility is very low at the moment."

"Some teams have tentatively asked about the situation, but just wondering if this is groundless. So far, there has been no substantial progress, but this matter must be closely watched by all parties. Also, it's interesting that James can end these rumors easily. He just needs to say publicly: 'I will continue to play for the Lakers and will not leave the team.' But he didn't do that - it is indeed a bit intriguing."
