The Lakers really do need to start considering the long-term health of their franchise. But that’s difficult to do when you have a team built around LeBron James. Because throughout his entire career, James has only been interested in winning titles. That often comes with the expense of draft picks and a whole lot of money.
But the rising tensions between Bron and the team are noteworthy, at the very least. Even if they aren’t exactly accurate, the optics of it all are not a great look for the organization or for Bron.
So what’s the solution? Trading LeBron sounds like a move that no franchise is bold enough to attempt. But that has been a solution we’ve seen pop up a whole lot in recent days.
The Herd’s Colin Cowherd had an easy (albeit wishful) solution to it all: trade him back to Miami.
“I don’t think Miami is dynamic enough at point guard. If you put LeBron in Miami with Bam and Butler, I think they win the title”.
