LeBron James e o Los Angeles Lakers não vivem o melhor momento e estão passando por certa crise, sendo essa a pior fase da relação ente as duas partes, segundo informações do jornalista Jovan Buha. O camisa 23 acionou uma opção de contrato e renovou com a franquia por um ano no valor de US$ 52,6 milhões, mas isso não foi o suficiente para espantar as especulações de uma possível saída.
Com 40 anos atualmente, ‘The King’ exige reforços e um time competitivo para realmente brigar por títulos nas próximas temporadas. No entanto, a diretoria de LA não está se movimentando de forma intensa neste sentido e até agora fez um mercado discreto, com apenas o ex-Portland Trail Blazers Deandre Ayton com maior impacto.
O jornalista explicou sobre as divergências de prioridades entre LeBron James e a franquia: “Eu acho que a organização entrou em uma nova era, com Luka Doncic como ‘bússola’ dos planos. Esse é o novo rumo das coisas por lá”, disse a fonte, que é setorista da equipe de LA.
“Quero ser cuidadoso com o que digo sobre a relação de LeBron com a equipe, pois sempre é um tema delicado. Mas eu não creio que esteja em uma boa situação. Essa é a minha visão honesta”, comentou.

Antetokounmpo deve ficar nos Bucks
Cercado de boatos, Giannis Antetokounmpo deu indícios que deve seguir no Milwaukee Bucks, onde foi campeão da NBA em 2020/21. Em conversa descontraída com o influenciador Speed, o grego disse: “Muitas pessoas tentam me convencer a jogar em Nova York. Mas provavelmente vou ficar em Milwaukee. Vamos ver”, declarou ele.
