During Wednesday morning‘s First Take on ESPN, Stephen A. Smith offered his opinion that the Lakers should consider trading LeBron James this offseason.
J.J. Redick did not agree with this “crazy take,” as he called it, and said it would go against the Lakers’ longtime organizational behavior of building around superstars.
“First thing to that, [trading James] would go against of decades of behavior upon the Lakers part,” Redick said. “They are a superstar driven franchise. Secondly, to trade LeBron somewhere like Utah or Portland would go against that behavior as well.
