Are the Lakers forcing LeBron James to retire? The two teams intend to hold a retirement tour for him. Pierce: He can win the championship if he returns to the East

On November 9th, starting today, the Lakers will start their five consecutive away trip. Redick said in an interview: Reeves will return during the five consecutive away trip. With LeBron James, Doncic and Reeves absent in turn, the Lakers are now ranked second in the Western Conference. This team is indeed worth looking forward to this season. Their signings in the offseason have been very successful. When all the core members return, they may be able to become a championship contender.

I believe everyone is now more concerned about James' comeback. As of now, James will not come back during the five consecutive away games. According to Shams, a famous reporter, James has not yet conducted 5-on-5 training, but he may conduct 5-on-5 training with the Lakers G League team during the five consecutive away games. He will not return earlier than November 19. At this age, it is a wise choice to fully recover and then come back.

However, many celebrities and media now believe that James will be the third in charge after his return, because Reeves has played so well. So far this season, Reeves has averaged 31.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game. During the absence of Doncic and James, Reeves produced the statistics of the league's top stars. He proved that he can lead the team as the absolute core. As far as this performance is concerned, considering Lao Zhan's age, Lao Zhan can also accept being the third boss.

Being the third-in-command is a kind of protection for Lao Zhan. After all, at his age, it is wise to reduce consumption in the regular season and work hard in the playoffs. If he consumes too much in the regular season, it will increase the possibility of injuries, and it will also affect his performance in the playoffs. So I think Lao Zhan can try to accept such a role, and this season may be Lao Zhan's last season with the Lakers, because the Lakers have no interest in keeping him long-term.

During the offseason, the Lakers and James had troubles. James faced an early contract extension, but the Lakers did not renew his contract at all. According to US media reports, the Lakers forced James to retire this season, otherwise they would not give him a retirement tour. The Lakers did this They also have their own plans. They want to quickly build a championship team around Doncic. They intend to introduce suitable super giant helpers to Doncic in the 27 offseason, such as Antetokounmpo, Jokic, etc., so they do not want to give Lao Zhan a big contract for fear that he will affect his salary space.

The Lakers are also doing this for their own benefit, and also to please their new core. Although they are cruel to Lao Zhan, it is understandable that they do this. Lao James obviously doesn't want to retire yet, otherwise due to his character and the needs of the league, he will also hold a retirement tour, which can achieve a win-win goal for both the league and him. Previously, Lao James's decision 2 advertisement deceived many fans. Many fans thought that he was going to announce his retirement, so they sold Lakers tickets in advance, but they were deceived. For this, they also sued Lao James.

Although the Lakers don't want to offer James the opportunity, it doesn't mean that other teams don't. There will always be people who want such incredible wealth. I think at least half of the teams in the league are willing. However, considering the big market and influence, even if teams like the Hornets and Pelicans want to offer it to James, he won't go. The famous reporter Lowe talked about this issue on his personal podcast. He thinks the two teams have a good chance.

He said: What will happen to James after this season? I know some of the Cavs guys are asking around, do you want to do a retirement tour? I know the Warriors are also asking, do you want to realize that dream here? That's just a rumor in Dallas, so we'll see. Having said that, I think these two teams do have a chance, and they are also the teams with the best chances besides the Lakers.

The Warriors have always been interested in James. They have been interested in James for many years. They had previously thought about acquiring James through a trade, but were rejected. Lacob, the owner of the Warriors team, has always been interested in superstars, and he is also very good at doing business. Now he has brought the Warriors to the level of the league's largest market. A shrewd businessman like him will definitely want to get James and expand the market value of the team. However, James is too old, and it is probably difficult to win the championship.

Everyone in the Cavaliers knows that they are Lao Zhan's old club. Although the team owner has an unpleasant quarrel with James, he will not let it go in the face of such a huge benefit. It is estimated that James also wants the theme of Lao Zhan returning home, and here he may be closer to the championship. Pierce recently talked about James' return to the Cavaliers. He said: This team adds James' leadership, especially in the Eastern Conference. This makes sense for both teams. If James partners with Mitchell and Mobley, they can break out of the Eastern Conference.

As for where Lao Zhan will hold his retirement tour, we don’t know yet. Let’s wait and see. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about Lao Zhan? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
