When participating in NBA TV, famous journalist Chris Haynes revealed that James believed he could continue to fight at a high level for several years, and so far, he has not yet sought to go elsewhere.

media person Fu Zhenghao interpreted this, the original text is as follows:

Can James and the Lakers break up with a decent breakup? The atmosphere is a bit wrong now. The Lakers and James team talk to each other through their mouths. One said, "If the Lakers do not have the ability to win the championship, they are willing to leave the Lakers and go to other teams to end their careers"; the other said, "They want to save salary space for the free agent market in 2027.

Is this considered the Lakers' order to evict guests in an tactful manner? Given that James has the right to veto the transaction, both parties may be waiting for the other party to break up first. In any case, the differences between the two sides on the direction of team building are already very obvious. Either one side will make concessions and play the full season, or a trade will occur at a certain point in time.

James's current situation is somewhat subtle. This summer is the first time he has chosen the option of executing the player. If it were the Cavaliers in 2010 or the Heat in 2014, the team would probably make a enthusiastic statement immediately thanking James for staying in the team, but the Lakers did not say anything. The James is a yellow-blooded person. On the one hand, more importantly, the Lakers have found a new team leader. After the Lakers replaced the boss, they were working hard to discuss contract renewal with Doncic, hoping to focus on the future and build a team around Doncic. Ritchie Paul said he understood that the Lakers should put Doncic first, but he must guarantee James' best interests. James' greatest interest and demand at this stage is undoubtedly to seize the tail of his career and win the championship as soon as possible.

Whether in the Cavaliers (2010, 2018) or the Heat (2014), when the team was unable to win the championship, James would leave without hesitation, even though he clearly wrote in the touching "Go Home" open letter in 2014: "I have always believed that I will return to Ohio and end my career there...I have looked at other teams, but I will not leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland... Ohio's kids are going home." The open letter at that time was sincere and every word was touching. Everyone felt that James had realized great enlightenment and the prodigal son turned around and really wanted to play in the Cavaliers until he retired. Unexpectedly, just four years later, he chose to leave again. It is no problem to switch teams many times to win the championship, including now his mouth says that if the Lakers cannot win the championship, he will leave the team. This is understandable. It is a good thing to have a belief in a championship. But the question is where can James win the championship?

Ritchie Paul admitted that he had contacted four teams before, but had no substantial communication. Obviously, there is no particularly suitable team among them, and James's appeal is no longer as attractive as before. James must have fully weighed the pros and cons before choosing to implement the team option. Given that the Lakers did not provide him with a contract extension this summer, James did not request an early renewal. If that happens, it can be said that the two sides have a tacit understanding of "Next season is James' last season in the Lakers", but after James implemented the player option, he kept saying that he wanted to win the championship team, which put the contradiction on the table.

If the Lakers can form a team to win the championship, they are certainly happy, but to be conservative, the Lakers' prospects for winning the championship next season are not particularly clear. In this case, either James will give in and choose to enjoy his last season with the Lakers; or both sides will get together and send James to a team with a better chance of winning the championship. Not to mention what chips can be exchanged for the Lakers, which championship-winning team can accept James, who is 42 years old, who is about to be 42 years old?

When Bass was alive, he formed a very family-friendly management style for the Lakers. The Bass family and Lakers' superstars were generally able to maintain friendly relations and regard each other as family members. The only exception is that O'Neal in 2004, publicly bombarded Bass after being traded, but a few years later, O'Neal also chose to let go and reconcile with the Bass family and the Lakers.

Unlike Jerry West, Magic Johnson and Kobe, James is not the star trained by the Lakers. If you can live a life in the Lakers halfway, it is certainly a good story, but couples often separate halfway, and they do not have such strong emotional bonds and loyalty. If you unfortunately end up in the breakup, it is best to maintain basic decency. James never regards himself as an employee of any team. He regards the team boss as his business partner wherever he goes, so everyone tries to show their professional style and speaks about business.

Still the same sentence: If you can trade, the Lakers will definitely help James. After all, the next company that is not in line with James' wishes will be rejected by James; if there is no suitable takeover, both sides might as well make do with it and endure it for a year.
