American fans suggest that the Lakers give up LeBron: 3 for 3 Van Jordan + Xiao Jia, choose Maruacchi from the No. 10 draw

On June 11, a fan of Canadian player Zach Eddy suggested that the Los Angeles Lakers give up LeBron James, and he wrote: Doncic/LeBron/Reeves' lineup will not work. If the Lakers make this deal with the Rockets, it can greatly improve their overall combat power. The premise of this deal is that James executes his 52.6 million player option, the Rockets executes VanVleet's 44.8 million team option, and then the Lakers send LeBron, Brownie, and Kneckett to get VanVleet, Jabbarri Jr. and the No. 10 pick in 2025.

The fan wrote: Van Vleet can be traded again before the start of the season, or can be used to exchange Governor or PJ Washington before the trading deadline next season;

10 picks can be selected for center Maruac from Duke;

Jabari Smith Jr. is a size striker who will develop into the league's top 3D forward in the future.

That's right, his few words made the Lakers trade 40-year-old LeBron James. He had never thought about the added value of LeBron James to the Lakers: 1. Commercial value; 2. World influence, etc.

James averaged 34.9 minutes per game, scored 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, 1 steal, 0.56 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 51.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 36.7%. He was selected as the All-Star + the Best Second Team. Did such a star die so easily?

Of course, Van Vliot, Jabarri Jr., and Maruac (if the No. 10 pick can be selected) can indeed greatly improve the Rockets' defense. Reeves, Doncic, Hachimura Ei, Jabarri Jr., and Maruac have greatly improved the defense of the starting lineup. Van Vliot's substitute who plays No. 1 position is likely to be the candidate for the best sixth man.
