The idea of LeBron being traded to the Warriors has once again surfaced.
Shams Charania recently appeared on NBA Today to discuss the Warriors’ search for a big-money trade, prompting Michael Wilbon and Kendrick Perkins to Kendrick Perkins suggested James as their target.
“……You have [Anthony Davis] James played 90% of the games, and they were at best the seventh and eighth seeds in the Western Conference. Will LeBron ever have another season like this? Why would he do this? Why does he need to do this?
Perkins said: “…They’re looking for a playmaker, right? That’s LeBron James. You need size because the wing position is the most important position in the NBA. That’s LeBron James.
Longtime ESPN insider Brian Windhorst sheds light on the situation.
“I’m very interested in all of this,” Windhorst said. “I’d be lying if I said there weren’t some conversations happening around the league about, ‘Is LeBron going to revisit this at some point this year?’ Because you remember at the trade deadline last year, the Warriors were Call.
Windhorst explained that trades won’t be easy for the Warriors and Lakers due to the NBA’s new CBA.
“But I just want to say a few things,” Windhorst said. “First of all, any trade the Warriors make is going to be complicated. They only have $500,000 and can spend more money this season. It’s first- and second-apron stuff — I know it’s boring. They do They literally can’t accept more money for any trade. Guess what? The Lakers aren’t allowed to accept any money because they’re on the first floor.
“So, if LeBron wants it, it’s possible. Plus, LeBron has a no-trade clause. Plus, the Lakers don’t own their first-round pick. For the Atlanta Hawks, it’s not protected. ,” he continued.
“…So, I just want to say, in the past 10 months, LeBron has had two opportunities to leave the Lakers. One was when the Warriors called at the trade deadline last year. The Lakers came to LeBron and said: “You really Want to be traded? “He said, “No. “He became a free agent last summer. He signed a contract extension with the Lakers.
“… James has made it clear multiple times that he wants to be a Laker. If that’s the case, he has a no-trade clause. There’s really nothing to talk about.
