Last week, the NBA world buzzed after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski revealed teams, including the Golden State Warriors, called the Los Angeles Lakers about the possibility of trading for LeBron James.
In the intitial report, a trade for James was brought up by Draymond Green as both he and James are represented by Rich Paul.
Before the NBA All-Star Game, James joined the Inside the NBA team and shed some light on how the talks went on his side, stating, “it never even got to me.”
“It didn’t go far at all. I actually heard about it when everybody else heard about it,” James said.
Fans have begun to wonder what the next basketball home for LeBron James will be as he heads into the twilight of his career. During a press conference at NBA All-Star 2024, King James revealed he wants to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers.
“I am a Laker and I’m happy and been very happy being a Laker the last six years and hopefully it stays that way,” James said. “But I don’t have the answer to how long it is or which uniform I’ll be in. Hopefully [it] is with the Lakers. It’s a great organization, so many greats. But we’ll see.”
James also revealed his hope for the remaining games of the NBA season, “Trying to get my ankle as strong and as back to where I feel confident that I can finish off this last third of the season.”
James revealed after the All-Star Game he would get treatment on his ankle ahead of his game against the Golden State Warriors.
