4 teams officially offer James! The Lakers signed a sharpshooter with 12 million in 2 years, but the top 3D has left

When I woke up, the sky fell on Lakers fans! The Rockets intercepted the Lakers' top 3D player Finney Smith in 4 years, not to mention that, now there are teams who have started playing James!

According to ESPN Lakers' team reporter Dave McMenamin, he has talked with James' agent Ritchie Paul. Ritchie Paul said that it is reported that in the past 24 hours, four teams have contacted Ritchie Paul. They are discussing the possibility of a James deal, but it is certain that there has not been a substantial conversation with these teams yet.

It is obvious that 40-year-old James is no longer so popular. Even if he is self-disciplined, he cannot stop him from coming to the end of his career. When James decided to implement the $52.6 million player option next season, Lakers fans cast strange eyes. In the eyes of fans, James should cut his salary and strengthen the Lakers! But James doesn't owe anyone, and he doesn't need to do that, because it's most likely James' last season.

According to the revelations of his agent Ritchie Paul, James is currently committed to building a team with the strength to compete for the championship, but it is obvious that the Lakers' operations have disappointed James. At present, many of the Lakers' potential targets, Lopez, Capela, etc. have completed the signing, and even the electric fan was finally let go by the Lakers! With 53 million US dollars in four years, the Lakers are still unwilling to give it to you!

James is quite disappointed. The Lakers' management did not show the sincerity he should have, so even if James left, it was understandable. As of now, James' departure may be able to achieve a win-win situation.

For the Lakers, 40-year-old James is obviously no longer among the team's future plans. James, whose condition is declining, is no longer able to adapt to the strength of the NBA. Therefore, if a team is willing to take over James, the Lakers can give it a try. Build a team with Doncic as the absolute core, and use James to exchange for players with immediate combat power. Why not do it?

For James, if the Lakers cannot create a championship lineup for him, they can completely choose to leave. After all, judging from James' current historical status, he still has great controversy with Kobe. If James can win another championship, or even compete for FMVP, James' historical status will directly surpass Kobe.

For the Lakers, they are not in the free market without gain. Among the 15 transactions after the free market opened, the word "Lakes" finally appeared. It is reported that the Lakers signed Lalavia for 2 years and $12 million. I believe many fans have never heard of this unknown shooter. But last season, the player who played for the Memphis Grizzlies and the Sacramento Kings averaged 7.4 points per game and shot 42.3% from three-pointers last season. In the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he made 8 of 11 three-pointers and scored 32 points and 7 rebounds, and was an absolute sharpshooter. But at the same time, its shortcomings are also obvious, including insufficient confrontation and poor defense, which is much inferior to electric fans!

4 team officially quoted James! The Lakers signed a sharpshooter for 12 million in 2 years, but the top 3D has left! As of now, the Lakers have not received the dividends of changing the team's boss. The team has not responded to James' execution player options, and there has not made any progress in Doncic's contract renewal. Such performance is difficult to convince fans. What is Pelinka doing? As a fan, do you think James will leave? Welcome to leave a message for communication!
