The Lakers have finally made their decision on who will be the next head coach in LA. Milwaukee Bucks assistant head coach, Darvin Ham, will now be taking on the biggest role of his career for the Lakers.
Ham will be in charge of reconstructing the roster that was a huge failure last season. Could that reconstruction see LeBron James being shipped off?
LeBron still has a lot of love for his hometown and the Cavaliers. And it could remain a possibility that he returns home sometime in the future.
Heavy.com’s Sean Deveney spoke to an Eastern Conference executive who speculated what a trade between the Lakers and Cavaliers for LeBron could look like.
“I think you’d have Cleveland, obviously. It’s hard to see a deal that makes sense, though,” the executive said. “You could start with Jarrett Allen, especially if you think that (Evan) Mobley is your center down the line. And then Collin Sexton as a sign-and-trade piece, but that might have to be a separate deal because of the luxury tax, a third team involved. And a young piece like Isaac Okoro. It is a tough thing to take a young team and give up some pieces for a guy LeBron’s age but it would have to look like that in order to happen, I would think.”
Last year, James averaged 30.3 points (.524 FG%), 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists. 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in 56 games, marking the 18th straight season he has averaged 25+ points, adding to an NBA record that he already held.
