As the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors are underway, every other team is gearing up for next season. While the Los Angeles Lakers are among those teams prepping for next season, could they eventually be doing so without LeBron James in tow? According to Bill Plaschke, they might, but could this open the door for a potential Miami Heat return?
Per Plaschke, if the Lakers don’t succeed during the free agency period and by whatever standards they may be, LeBron could look to leave the Lakers. Here are a few of the transcribed quotes from NBC Sports as told by Plaschke as he appeared on “The Sedano Show” of ESPN LA:
I’m hearing that, if they whiff on free agency, and if they whiff on a trade – which I don’t know how likely that is, but if that happens, they’ve got big trouble with LeBron.
