After being defeated by a hard 4-0 against the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James left his possible retirement in the air after a very demanding season with the Los Angeles Lakers
It has not been an easy year for Lebron James in Los Angeles Lakers. After a very demanding regular season, in which they were on the verge of missing out on the playoffs, the franchise managed to soar in the postseason. They surprised the Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors, managing to reach the Western Conference Finals after three years.
However, in the Western Conference Finals they have run into some intractable Denver Nuggets led by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Although they have competed in all four games in the series, they have been unable to win a single game. Something that seems to have exhausted LeBron James, who has considered leaving the NBA after this season.
LeBron James’ strategy with the Los Angeles Lakers
However, and despite the fact that he has hinted at his idea of ​​withdrawal, the truth is that few believe that LeBron James is going to leave basketball. The vast majority believe that it is nothing more than a strategy to transfer all possible pressure to the management of the Lakers to get important reinforcements in free agency.
He main target would be Kyrie Irving. The point guard is one of his great friends in the league and has already met him at the Cleveland Cavaliers, where they won a ring together. Thus, the idea of ​​the ‘King’ is for Rob Pelinka to make the necessary moves to incorporate the Dallas Mavericks point guard into the project. And it is that the point guard who wants to wear purple and gold next season.
Golden State Warriors, waiting
Likewise, and although it is an idea that at first seems crazy, it should not be forgotten that the Los Angeles Lakers project could completely collapse. In case this occurs, LeBron James would already be being tested by a franchise. A franchise where he has great friends and which he could join in search of his fifth ring.
This franchise would be none other than Golden State Warriors, who could offer LeBron James one last exciting challenge for your career. Not only because he would have the necessary pieces to compete for the ring, an owner willing to spend large amounts of money and a great trainer. Also because there he would coincide with two great friends such as Draymond Green and Stephen Curry.
