Recently, ESPN broke the news that Golden State Warriors owner Joe Racob personally called the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jeanie Buss, asking if it was true that LeBron James was put on the trading table by the Lakers recently, and they hoped to trade with the Lakers to take LeBron James.
The Golden State Warriors are hoping to take LeBron James, put him in addition to Stephen Curry, and then compete for a fifth championship. However, the Los Angeles Lakers decisively rejected the Golden State Warriors' offer.
In fact, the Lakers will not consider trading away LeBron James, and the Lakers management is notoriously picky, and in recent years they have cared about making more money and saving money, rather than spending money to build a championship-level roster to compete for another championship.
So, the deal quickly settled down. After the Warriors lost to the Clippers, Stephen Curry was also asked in the post-game interview about the news that LeBron James might be traded by the Warriors.
Stephen Curry stated "No, I'm never surprised by that; I'm just surprised that this kind of thing is being revealed, because I guess every team is playing, and if every fan and every family knows, maybe it would feel normal to have a conversation between management, especially around the trade deadline, when you're exploring the league, who's okay to be traded and who's not, to find out what the intent is.
"So, for a guy like LeBron, you're probably going to ask about the situation. I don't know how deep those discussions were, but it was a small surprise this morning. ”
Many fans want to know how much Stephen Curry knows about the Golden State Warriors' desire to trade LeBron James. Stephen Curry's "I don't know how deep those discussions were" also caused a lot of controversy.
Many fans have come forward to criticize Stephen Curry as a hypocritical clown. Because when the Golden State Warriors recruited Durant, Stephen Curry made similar remarks. The outside world thought that the Golden State Warriors management recruited Durant and had nothing to do with Stephen Curry.
Until last year, the former Warriors general manager broke the news, saying that when the team recruited Durant and others, they had taken the initiative to ask Stephen Curry's opinion; At that time, he was specially asked to come to the office to discuss, and it was he who agreed that the team decided to take Durant; This is a slap in the face, Stephen Curry's remarks that he has not been involved in the incident of Durant and others joining the Golden State Warriors.
Does LeBron James want to leave the Lakers? Obviously, because the Lakers have not been consistent since the end of the in-season tournament, and he wants the team to trade for reinforcements. However, the Los Angeles Lakers did not want to continue to be at the mercy of LeBron James, so they refused to continue to overdraft future reinforcements this season on the basis that the team would perform well after entering 2024.
Now, the Los Angeles Lakers have also given a promise that they will work hard to get Bronny James, so that the two fathers and sons have the opportunity to play in the NBA together. Bronny James also released a photo with his father LeBron James wearing a Los Angeles Lakers jersey in the face of overwhelming rumors and information from the outside world.
