The speculation surrounding LeBron James and his offseason moves has been at an all-time high. The odds, now, favor the Los Angeles Lakers who have the biggest chance of landing the king’s services moving forward.
Though Stephen A. Smith likes to say outlandish shit sometimes, he was the one to break news about LBJ going to the Miami and one of the first to say he was going back to Cleveland. For this reasoning, we take what he’s saying with a grain of salt and some truth.
According to his podcast, SAS mentions that one of LeBron’s good buddies is already putting out the word about what he’s going to do this summer.
“Chris Paul is telling folks LeBron ain’t trying to come to Houston, he wants to be in L.A. These are things I am getting through the grapevine. Chris Paul is saying LeBron wants to be in L.A.”
He also says that Paul George may not actually come to the Lakers this offseason and could stay in OKC when it’s all said and done.
Would James play with a young core in Los Angeles and no other superstars? Would the Lake Show trade some young pieces for Kawhi Leonard if they don’t sign PG13? What other options does the team have if they can’t land neither George or Leonard? These are questions that will get answers soon enough.
The news is interesting the source, with many speculating that LBJ would head to Houston to play with his pal CP3 and James Harden to take down the Golden State Warriors. The likelihood of that is becoming less and less with each passing day.
