Paul Fu: James understands that the Lakers give priority to Doncic, he believes that the Lakers can also take care of him
Today, NBA TV reporter Chris Haynes talked about James's Lakers career prospects on a TV show.
Haynes said: "I just spoke to Ricky Paul on the phone. LeBron James executed the player option and Ricky Paul's remarks sparked some speculation about James' future in the Lakers. So I want to get some clarification from him. He said that the statement he issued on behalf of LeBron James means that LeBron has a few years of his career and he is still playing at a high level and he wants to win. He said LeBron understands the Lakers' priority exams. He supports the move by seeing the Lakers improve their pick in the draft and pick a player who helps them younger. He makes it clear that LeBron supports that draft decision. At the same time, his desire is that the Lakers can give priority to him, and still make sure to do everything they can to compete for the championship now.
"That's all he said, and he told me that there is no trade negotiation with the Lakers at the moment. There are some teams that people speculate on the Internet that he might be interested in joining, and I was told that all those discussions were fake. The two sides have not discussed the deal or discussed renewal. He has obviously chosen the execution option and he is eager to win. He believes that the Lakers have the ability to maximize the use of Luca's timeline, while also maximizing and prioritizing his timeline. So, that's what Ritchie Paul wants to clarify. ”
