From the moment he got Luca Doncic, everyone knew that he would be the core of the future, and LeBron James was in his late hero. Although the management did not break up with him, it was obvious that he no longer paid attention to the idea of the "old emperor". So this summer, LeBron James may leave the Lakers, and the management is indifferent to reports. This is unimaginable to be put in the previous few years.
Of course, if you think LeBron James is a burden, or if you deal with him, the Lakers will definitely get better. It must be taken for granted. I'm afraid the Lakers might be worse at that time. Sure enough, fans were already in the forum on the foreign network, and the Lakers management was criticized again because if there were no accidents, the Lakers had no trades for three consecutive years. The last time they worked with other teams was to trade with the Bulls three years ago, and used Horton Tucker and Stanley Johnson to exchange for Patrick Beverly. The subsequent results of this transaction were generally not mentioned. At least the management took action, but in the past three offseasons, the Lakers did not consider trading at all. Players rely entirely on free markets, buyouts, or draft introductions, so the operating space was even smaller.
Don't look at LeBron James and the Lakers, it seems that they have only started to have an unpleasant relationship during this period, but there may be a long gap between the two sides, and LeBron James has naturally lost his privileges. First of all, in those years of working with Davis, since the park won the championship, the Lakers management has been particularly conservative and even experienced a lot of incompetent operations, which has caused the team's competitiveness to decline rapidly and has never truly returned to the championship ranks. What's more, the Lakers sent Davis away on the deadline last season, but they didn't say hello to LeBron James at all, and completed the deal silently, but actually ignored him.
By the time of this offseason, the Lakers' management changed hands and sent a text message to Luca Doncic. On the contrary, LeBron James knew nothing about it, which caused an uproar because in terms of prestige and contribution, LeBron James was considered a hero and mainstay of the Lakers, but he was not taken seriously at all.
If LeBron James has any privileges, it is probably because the Lakers gave him face and used the second round pick to pick his son Brownie James in last year's draft. However, the Lakers are not that noble. They are purely interested in Brownie's ability to provide huge topics and traffic in the next few years. Obviously, the Lakers are more profitable than LeBron James. Now they feel that the latter does not have much value in use, so they just want to destroy the bridge.
