Lakers Note: If James applies for a trade, please pay attention to Danas

I originally thought Durant would become the biggest fish in the trading market this year, but I didn't expect that James might be traded. According to Espn famous reporter Shmas, "Although James chose to execute the 52.6 million player option next season, he still has the possibility of leaving the Lakers."

Then his agent Ricci Paul also said in a recent interview: "James wants to become more valuable in the rest of his career. He is still eager for the championship, but the Lakers' current focus is on building a team around Doncic and the future. This has caused some differences between the two sides. We worked with Jenny and Pelinka for 8 years, and both were very successful during this period. This career is a very important stage of our career for James."

As soon as this was said, the outside media speculated whether James was leaving the Lakers? Some people also asked: If you want to leave, why do you still choose to execute your contract for next season? Instead of becoming a free agent directly?

This can also explain that there are not many teams in the free market that can afford James' 50 million contract. After all, only the Nets can directly sign James naked, and obviously the Nets are definitely not one of James' target teams. Then after he executes the contract, he can choose to apply for a transaction, which allows both parties to meet the team's salary cap (no luxury tax). For example, if the Warriors exchange Butler for James and his son, both teams still do not have to pay luxury taxes, which can reduce the team's salary burden.

And this will be much better for the Lakers. If you sign first and then exchange, you may also get the Lakers future draft pick assets. Now the new Lakers boss is much richer than Jenny Buss. In the past, Jenny wanted to keep James to make a big profit on the tour, but now the new boss may really look down on the money, so it would be better to directly form a championship lineup around Doncic.

Of course, these are just speculations. If the Lakers have any new trading moves after the free market is opened, will the Lakers have any new trading moves?

But it is not without any basis. Lakers' team reporter Jowan Buha said in his podcast program: "In the public opinion circle in the past week or two in the NBA, there are indeed some rumors about James and the Dallas Mavericks. If he really applies for leaving the team, I want to pay attention to Dallas' trends."

Then Buha said: "James has a very deep connection with the Mavericks. Not only are there two former teammates, Thick Brow and Irving, but also head coach Kidd is also a former Lakers' championship assistant coach. He has a very good relationship with James."

This is interesting. If James really goes to the Mavericks next season, it will be a 4-no. This talent is really unspeakable. Not to mention Flag this year, Davis, Owen and James are reuniting at the Mavericks. This plot was really hard to imagine before.

The Mavericks are now very short of point guards. Irving will have to be reimbursed for more than half of the season, and the best situation will be for the return in March next year. If James goes to the Mavericks to play point guard, it will be really good. When the time comes to the playoffs, Irving will come back, plus Davis, Flag, James, Gafford, Lefley, Clay, Russell, Pj and others. Maybe you can really win the championship!

The free market is about to begin, and many things are not very favorable recently. First of all, Reeves refused to renew the contract, and then Fanny Smith also went to the free market to test the waters. Now James is not sure whether he will stay in the Lakers...Pellinka is expected to be under great pressure, and maybe the first one after the new boss takes office is to fire Mr. Pei.

What do you think? Will James really leave the Lakers?
