Following the Lakers’ early exit from the playoff series, the question about LeBron James’ future in the franchise has captured every hoop enthusiast’s attention. While many had their takes on the matter, the ever-opinionated Draymond Green stated his views.
Underlining the uncertainty surrounding LeBron’s future, Green said, “Some people think it’s a foregone conclusion that Bron is going back to the Lakers. I don’t know that’s a foregone conclusion. If there was something that came along that was interesting, I think he’d look at it. But ultimately, I don’t quite see him leaving LA.”
The Warriors veteran believes that if an exciting deal comes in LeBron’s way, then the 39-year-old might explore. Though Draymond doesn’t envision LeBron leaving the LA franchise, the man himself had a different reaction.
