The tour dream is broken! The new boss rejects Lao Zhan coldly

12:37am, 23 July 2025Basketball

James's idea of retirement tour with the Lakers may be in a daze. As you can see from James' execution of the player options for next season, the Lakers, who have changed their new boss, do not give James a 1+1 second-year player option every year like in previous seasons. The James team's moves are not very useful for the new boss, because the reason is very simple.

First, Walter is a big shot across several sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers he manages is the most profitable team, and the players also make a lot of money on his team. He is not a boss like Jenny Buss who has no management experience and is easy to grasp. The moves of James' team that use the media to put pressure on the team have no effect on Walter.

You want the Lakers to strengthen their championship so that their career experience will be more dazzling. The new boss has seen through it for a long time and will not be trapped at all. Now the team is just strengthening Ayton, the center forward, and also losing Finney Smith, the team's best defense, is full of disappointment.

But there is no way, because in the eyes of the new boss, the team's future is Doncic, and the lineup is also built around Doncic. If James hadn't had the trade veto, Walter would have thought about how to rebuild the team at the moment he announced the execution of the player option.

Now Ricci Paul stands up and says that many teams in the league are interested in James, but anyone with discerning eyes knows that such a team does not exist. The idea that James wants and wants has already passed many teams that are unable to compete for the championship. If you want to go back to the Cavaliers, the boss said he would not consider it. After all, James' reputation for manipulating and hyping over the years has spread throughout the basketball world. Many teams are unwilling to be his stepping stone, and they have long rejected his arrival openly and secretly.

Walter obviously knew this, so he ignored James. If you want to leave Xiting Zun, you can't retire in Los Angeles to tour, and James may suffer greater losses. Walter is not short of this money, but it is not ruled out that this is James' last season with the Lakers. When James executes the player options, the initiative is no longer in his hands.

Want to retire at the Lakers, put down your posture and don’t make trouble, otherwise you will do whatever you should do as soon as your contract expires. You can sign a top star with a salary of 50 million yuan.
