On July 28, although James chose to execute his contract this offseason, there are many rumors about James. Many people think that next season will be James' last season with the Lakers. The reason for this is because the Lakers' reinforcement movements in the offseason are not good. In addition, the Lakers will build a team around Doncic, so the Lakers are very cautious about the use of the first round pick, but James is here, so James definitely doesn't want the Lakers to delay their final peak period like this. It is precisely because of this kind of factors that there are more rumors about James.
Now the US media has simulated a four-party deal, among which the Cavaliers get: LeBron James, Brownie, the first round pick in 2027; the Lakers get: Garland, Struce; the Hornets get: Jaret Allen; the Nets get: Grant Williams, Dean Wade, the first round pick in 2027. It can be said that this deal is probably difficult to make, and the Cavaliers may not accept such things. Although the Cavaliers won the first place in the Eastern Conference last season, the Cavaliers' performance in the playoffs was not good. Although this has something to do with the Cavaliers' injuries, the Cavaliers' shortcomings are also very obvious from the game. They rely too much on Mitchell in the game, especially when the Cavaliers cannot play a regular season offense in the playoffs, the Cavaliers have no way to stop the Pacers in the game, and the Cavaliers were eliminated 1-4 by the Pacers.
As the Cavaliers were eliminated, there were rumors of trading in Garland and Allen, but it was not easy for the Cavaliers to trade Garland. After all, Garland's trading value is limited, but it is really difficult for a double-gun combination composed of Garland and Mitchell to win the championship. Garland's poor performance in the playoffs made the Cavaliers very passive, so if the Cavaliers want to improve their strength, Garland will become a bargaining chip in the trading, but for James of this age, it is probably difficult for them to accept that the Cavaliers have to trade Garland, Struce and Allen. You should know that the Cavaliers have a good record in the regular season. In fact, Allen also plays an important role. If Allen also leaves the Cavaliers, then there will be problems in the inside line. In this way, even if the Cavaliers get James, it will still be difficult for them to win the championship.
As for the Lakers getting Garland and Struz here, they are probably the bargaining chips they don't want to get. Let's not talk about whether this transaction is worthy of James' trading value. The minimum thing is that Garland and the Lakers are not suitable. After all, there are already combinations like Doncic and Reeves in the Lakers. If the Lakers still want to get Garland, then there are not many players in the Lakers holding the ball, and the Lakers' defense will become worse. The Lakers originally needed to solve their defensive flaws in the offseason. If the Lakers still get Garland's defensive loopholes, it will be more difficult for the Lakers to win the championship. Therefore, such bargaining chips are obviously not suitable for the Lakers.
In fact, until now, the Lakers and James have not really revealed their intention to part ways. However, due to various reasons, there have been many rumors about James and the Lakers. However, if the Lakers can achieve good results and see hope of winning the championship next season, then James will not have the intention to leave the Lakers. After all, no matter what, although James is not young now, James can still perform well in the game. With James' influence, the Lakers will definitely not want to see James leave the team. Therefore, if the Lakers really want to keep James, they will need to speak with their records next season. As for James still want the team to continue to strengthen, James also needs to prove himself with facts.
