Should the Lakers trade LeBron James?

[SideSwipe52]

The Los Angeles Lakers are 30-35, has lost four straight and is just about eliminated for making the playoffs. Both Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram are done for the season. ESPN color commentator and former NBA head coach Jeff Van Gundy made this statement:


Van Gundy: I think in the offseason, they need to rebuild this roster, right? And to me, it could be a trade for an Anthony Davis, or I think they need to explore trading LeBron for getting as much as they can.

It seems that Van Gundy believes that a Lakers team centered around Davis and one of Durant or Leonard would be better off than one led by James.

Do you agree with Jeff Van Gundy, what say you SportsHoopla?


Also as a side question, should have LeBron stayed in Cleveland with the Cavs or signed with another team?

This is a nice thread to talk about but no chance of it actually taking place.

I was just trying to think of the silliest destionation for him.

Trade him back to Miami for Whiteside and Winslow.











LOL.

What about trading Lebron to the 76ers along with Lonzo Ball for two 1st round picks and Ben Simmons and TJ McConnell. This way Simmons would have Magic Johnson coach him up, no tampering!.

 

[SideSwipe52]

Would the 76ers, with LeBron, Jimmy Slim Butler, Embiid, and Tobias Harris (if he resigns), be the top team in the Eastern Conference?

Yes LeBron should be traded.

To the Portland Red Claws G League. He would fill the Portland Expo.

Trading him to the clippers could be an interesting move by making the Lakers the only LA team with cap space.

Lebrons future with the Lakers will depend on if he still believes in Magic

Lebron James will not allow that. He will fine the Lakers and take away draft picks from them if they attempt to trade him.

The Cavs have NOTHING of value to offer other than a draft pick.
