Congratulations! The Lakers Extreme 1 for 1, James was asked for the price, Russell joined forces with Brother Davis again

On July 2, according to famous reporter Shams, the Los Angeles Lakers, who own LeBron James and Luca Doncic, can always slow down in strengthening and signing players. Multiple target center players, such as Lopez, Capela, Nance Jr., and Valanciunas, have all been stolen or renewed, but General Manager Pelinka is as stable as a dog, so he can directly go to the limit one and change one. It should be emphasized that the team management used a two-year, $12 million contract to sign Laravia, which was fully guaranteed, but the Houston Rockets used a four-year, $53 million to poach Finney Smith, who was the best defense. This operation is really funny.

As the only oldest and most experienced superstar in the team, LeBron James, seeing the attitude of the Lakers' management, he basically revolved around Luka Doncic. After being the core of the team, he did not listen to the former's advice and chose to implement the player option of $52.63 million in one year next season, and continued to stay here, and publicly stated that he refused to cut his salary. Unexpectedly, such a move has attracted the attention and price queries of many teams, including the Dallas Mavericks, the New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Clippers, etc., on this list. James, who played for the Lakers in 2024-2025, averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game in the regular season, and averaged 25.4 points, 9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in the playoffs. At the age of 40, he is still aged.

It is worth mentioning that D'Angelo Russell, who was also traded and abandoned by the Los Angeles Lakers, chose to join the Dallas Mavericks after becoming a free agent and joined forces with Anthony Davis again. According to league statistics, during the two became teammates, the record was 72 wins and 43 losses, with a winning rate of 62.6%. The two sides cooperated for 3 seasons. This season, Anthony Davis played 51 regular season games, playing for the Lakers and Mavericks, averaging 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. D'Angelo Russell played 58 regular season games, averaging 12.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. Looking forward to the cooperation between the two people and performing an excellent all-time pickup.

Now, with the Los Angeles Lakers' extreme one-to-one, signing Laravia with a two-year contract, but the Rockets poached Finney Smith. This result has a lot to do with general manager Pelinka, because he told other teams that the latter has a certain risk of injury, and superstar LeBron James is being paid attention to and asked about the price. If he can be traded, at the age of 40, he can still get multiple teams to compete for, and influence and retirement tour are all money. It should be noted that D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Davis joined forces again. They were abandoned by the Lakers and finally cooperated. This is fate.
