Lakers news: James decides to reveal that Paul is expected to join, Brownie is admirable

Jack James decided to expose

Today, espn famous reporter shams revealed in a podcast program called "The Pat McAfee Show" that Lakers star LeBron James will most likely choose to execute the $52.6 million player option in the last year this summer and return to the Lakers. Shams said: "The source told me that James doesn't want to go anywhere other than the Lakers. And the execution of the player options is huge and there is a high degree of flexibility. Next season is the 23rd season of James's career, and Los Angeles will hold the All-Star. If this is James' last season, then it's good in this way." James will make the final decision before June 29 local time.

shams is the most accurate and authoritative reporter in the entire NBA circle, and his news is basically the same. This also means that next season may really be James' last dance. On the one hand, James is already 40 years old. Although he can still contribute comprehensive data this year's regular season and playoffs, his influence on the court can be seen to the naked eye. James has said before that he cannot accept the fact that he cannot play at the peak; on the other hand, the Lakers' current salary situation is not very good, and there are many problems with the lineup. Unless major changes are made, they will not be able to reach the championship level in the short term. Of course, even if James executes the player option, it does not mean that he will retire next season. After all, his second son Bryce will participate in the NBA draft as early as 26 years. It is not ruled out that James wants to realize his wish to compete in the same NBA with his two sons.

Paul is expected to join

Today, according to famous reporter Markstan, 40-year-old veteran Chris Paul is not expected to return to the Spurs, and he will become a full free agent and find a new owner. Later, the American bookmakers opened the odds list of Paul's next group, and the results showed that the Mavericks, who urgently needed to strengthen the backcourt, ranked first, and the Lakers followed closely behind. The specific top five rankings are: 1. Mavericks: -120 (bet 120 if you win 220), 2. Lakers: +300 (bet 100 if you win 400, the same below), 3. Clippers: +375, 4. Cavaliers: +575, 5. Grizzlies: +900.

The author believes that although the Mavericks rank first in odds, Paul is the most likely to join the Lakers. First, Paul has played in the Clippers for many years, and many of his companies, industries, and relatives and friends are here; secondly, the Lakers can promise to provide Paul with enough playing time and team status, which is different from the Mavericks allowing him to temporarily replace Irving with his injury vacancy; finally, Paul and James have a very close relationship, and no one will refuse the opportunity to play with his old friends in the same team. Once the Lakers can grab Paul with their basic salary or mini middle class, the problem of the team's lack of commander in the substitute lineup will be solved, and the Lakers will also have more confidence to use Reeves as a bargaining chip to exchange for a trusted fourth and fifth player.

Browne is admirable

Today, Lakers player Markieff Morris accepted an interview with the media and answered multiple questions. When talking about the team's young player Brownie, Morris said: "Browny is a very hardworking young man. We often train together. He has been polishing his skills. If he doesn't understand, he will be like those experienced veterans asking for advice. The offseason is the same. I am proud of Brownie, and I think he will definitely become a very outstanding player in the future." During the rookie season, Brownie spent most of his time in the Development League, playing only 27 regular season games in the NBA, averaging 6.7 minutes of playing games, scoring 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists.

If other players said this, it is likely to be to compliment Bronny's father James, but it is completely different from Damo's mouth. Morris Big is always a very old-school player and rarely praises other players in public. Now that Damo can praise Brownie so much, it also proves that Brownie's hard work has touched Damo. As a superstar second-generation born with a golden key, it is not easy for Brownie to enter the NBA step by step and always maintain his original intention and humble and positive attitude towards basketball. It also proves that Brownie is a person who can accomplish great things, which is really admirable.
