On ESPN’s The Lowe Post podcast, NBA insider Dave Mcmenamin discussed the cur
rent situation in Los Angeles.

“It’s pretty darn clear that LeBron has seen enough and he has no interest g
oing into another year with Russ as his teammate.”

根據湖人記者Dave Mcmenamin在和Zach Lowe的Podcast裡說到

情況已經很清楚，LBJ已經受夠龜龜了，明年不想再跟他作為隊友一起打球。


而另一位湖人記者Kyle Goon也在Podcast和Chris Mannix談到現在湖人的情況。

I think it’s pretty evident that LeBron and his camp think trading out, someh
ow, Russ for Kyrie Irving gets you closer to what a championship team should l
ook like, gives you more of a window than Russ does currently.
LBJ和他的團隊認為用龜龜換KI會讓你更接近一支爭冠球隊應有的樣子，比現在的龜龜能
有更大的機會。

I also think it’s incredibly important to look at: Privately the Lakers basic
ally since the trade deadline have been very protective of their first-round p
icks and then even publicly Jeanie Buss says to NBA.com last week,oh, well, w
e don’t want to do a deal that further hampers our future.And I think she’ss
tarting to get a sense of, and perhaps the front office by extension, well,wha
t comes next after LeBron?


LeBron’s gonna turn 38 in December. Realistically, if we burn it all now and
we don’t get there, what happens through 2027 or 2029, which are the two firs
t-round picks they can still deal? So I think there’s a little bit of, let’s
 say misalignment there, where LeBron has short-term interest—it’s like,he t
hink we can win now with me, AD and Kyrie—and the Lakers are sort of lookinga
t the long-term interest of the franchise. And I think that is one thing that
’s complicating the deal.



Mannix: Last thing for you. LeBron will be a free agent at the end of next sea
son. On August 4, he’s eligible to sign a contract extension. How much do you
 think that looms over the rest of the Lakers offseason?
Mannix：LBJ將在下賽季結束時成為自由球員。8月4日，他就有資格提前續約了。你認為
這對湖人休賽期的影響有多大？

Goon:Oh, huge. Huge. You know, it’s really hard to know at this point where t
hat lies. I mean, at one point it seemed pretty clear that LeBron was definite
ly gonna re-sign here, finish a career here, retire a Laker. There's some big
things coming up. He’s gonna be the all-time leading scorer in regular season
 history. And that's gonna be meaningful to have him in a Laker uniform whenhe
 passes Kareem, another Laker. I think there’s good things that the Lakers
would want to come out of that.


But LeBron kinda laid the tracks that maybe he could leave. I mean, he’s talk
ed about it and he tried to pull back on it, but All-Star break this year, he
’s like,oh yeah, I'll go to whichever team has Bronny. And then he tried toro
ll it back by saying that could be the Lakers, but that’s not what he saidatf
irst.


So, I think, you’re seeing signs that the alignment is not where it needs to
be. And I know for a fact that LeBron’s camp was very disappointed that the L
akers didn’t make a move at last year’s trade deadline. And that was a huges
ource of contention. So then right after that is All-Star break, that’s when
LeBron is complimenting every GM that’s not named Rob Pelinka and doing allth
is stuff. And so I think it’s definitely possible that he still holds it over
 them.


I think maybe the best thing for all involved is to figure out at least, you k
now, two more years where he can be a Laker until he’s 40. And then maybe all
ow him to figure out what he’s gonna do with Bronny, whenever Bronny comes in
 the league. But it’s definitely less of a sure thing than it was, you know,s
even months ago.


And I don’t think that’s been resolved because this Russell Westbrook situat
ion still isn’t resolved. And I think one has a lot to do with the other. I’
m not saying that will be for sure the reason that LeBron does extend or doesn
’t extend, but I think if they make a deal with Russ and if they figure out K
yrie, I think that will go a long way to making sure that LeBron does have a l
ong-term future with the Lakers.
