What does this interview with Paul Fu mean? Thanks for his 8-year cooperation with the Lakers, is James leaving?

According to ESPN famous reporter Shmas, James has chosen the option to execute 52.6 million next season, but this does not mean he will not leave the Lakers. James knows that the Lakers are now building a team around Doncic for the future, but he still desires a championship. There is indeed a contradiction between the two, because it is almost impossible for the Lakers to win the championship now.

First listen to a recent interview with Paul Fu about James. He said: "James still hopes to win the championship. He hopes that it will be valuable in the remaining seasons, and the Lakers are building a team for the future. We understand the contradiction between the current championship and the future team building. We really need to evaluate now. At this stage of our career, what is the most suitable choice for James. "

"The Lakers also understand this. , They also support James to make choices that are good for him. We have worked with Jenny and Robert for 8 years, and the Lakers are a crucial part of his career. "

How powerful is Paul? You should know something about it in the past few days through various videos and Yang Hansen's draft, but he has achieved what he has done today. Thanks to James. You can say that the two have achieved each other, but in general, it was the signing of James that brought him everything that happened later.

Judging from this interview with Paul Fu, James is really likely to leave the Lakers. Some fans expressed doubts. Since they wanted to leave, why didn’t they refuse to execute their contract for next season and choose to become a free agent?

This is also explainable. Going to the free market is also a 1+1 contract, with an estimated salary of 110 million yuan in two years. However, at present, all MBA teams can sign James naked, probably only the Nets, but this is obviously not James' target team. But if you pass the transaction, you can achieve salary matching. For example, if the Warriors exchange Butler for James and his son, the Warriors still don’t have to pay luxury taxes, and they can even sign Kumingga. The same is true for other teams, and maybe the Lakers can earn a few more in the first rounds.

The Lakers' lineup still has many problems to solve. Reeves rejected 89.2 million for four years, and Fanny Smith also chose to jump out of the 15.4 million player option next season and choose to become a free agent. Therefore, the Lakers are also trying to leave the "electric fan". Moreover, the centers in the team have not made any progress. All teams know that the Lakers lack centers, and there are not many centers in the free market. Now the best one is Capela and the other Daluo. And it may not be possible to grab it. If you can’t grab it, you can only make a transaction, then other teams will definitely raise the price.

Don't say that the Trail Blazers want to give Lakers Ayton and Rowe for free. It's impossible. If you don't want to give up in the first round, the Trail Blazers themselves are just rebuilding the team. If the chips do not meet the standards, they would rather keep them in their hands.

and the Jazz Kessler. Angie clearly marked the price for 2 first rounds and never give in. If you want, come to trade, don’t worry. Anyway, Kessler is still taking advantage of the rookie contract.

Of course, there is another hidden reason that may also lead to James leaving, that is, the Lakers have changed their boss. Although this boss was rich and willing to spend money in the past, that was just baseball. Can it be the same in the NBA? And James has negotiated with Mobile, does the new boss still count? And it is also an unknown idea how the new boss is experiencing James' attitude.

Of course, all this is just speculation. Perhaps James doesn't go anywhere in the Lakers, just creating topics and traffic, that's all! All the answers can only be revealed after the free market is opened. Please wait and see!
