The mix of LeBron James sensationalism and the massive Lakers fan base as of now is poetic exaggeration, but Monday night Shaquille O’Neal took it to another level. Shaq was talking on CNBC about crypto and about 6,347 support/franchise deals when Tema went to the Lakers’ wars and LeBron. He said that there is an assumption to win with the Lakers and a few different teams, and it is difficult when those assumptions are not met.
Then, at that point Shaq threw it out.
“You’ll never win again if you trade LeBron,” Shaq said. “You have to make a decision. If you put LeBron with the right guys, they will definitely win. Whoever brought the team together needs to step up and try to fix it.”
Russell Westbrook makes alarming comment about how rival NBA teams disrespect the Lakers
Why the crazy assumption that the Lakers traded LeBron James?
Really, that brings us back to LeBron. In any case, he fiercely defended Westbrook.
Additionally, the phrase “can’t win at any point in the future” is ridiculous – that’s the Lakers. They are the largest franchise brand playing in the second largest market in the association. They could miss the end of season games for five seasons and LeBron will decide to play there anyway. From Sacramento to Charlotte and every little market in the middle the fans may have everything they need, the Lakers will consistently have a huge advantage in their casting and in their experience they enjoy playing that advantage well.
After speaking to sources, the truth looks like this: No one around the association expects the Lakers to replace LeBron. Also, he went out and said that LeBron’s shots on GM’s bow should “stay with the Lakers as long as I can play.” Rob Pelinka and the Lakers front office during All-Star weekend is seen as a strong message to change the schedule this season, a message Pelinka has no doubts about the Lakers either. Jeanie Buss was in the build Sunday night, saw the boring exhibit, heard the boos and chose to leave the final quarter in second place.
If we get to August, when LeBron qualifies for a two-year $97.1 million deal raise and the Lakers’ roster looks like what it is now, then, at that point, what happens next is everyone’s own decision. guess. This is also extremely unlikely. The Lakers don’t control this schedule and don’t think, “Everything will be fine if we get him back.” Changes from the training staff to the list are normal.
