No. 23, 23 seasons? Famous reporter revealed that James will stay or stay: the worst team in the Lakers, he will not leave

The issue of James' stay or not is still the most concerned thing for the Lakers management now, and it has always touched the hearts of Lakers fans. ESPN famous reporter Shmas said in a show: "I don't know when James will retire, but I'm very clear about it. And from my discussion with Lakers insiders, James will probably execute his $52.6 million player option next season and continue to stay with the Lakers. "

"I know many people hope that James will cut his salary and then make the Lakers better sign up, because I think the Lakers are not his team now, and they should focus on Doncic to strengthen. But I still want to say to James that he joined the Lakers when the worst was the Lakers. At that time, the team was uncompetitive and had missed the playoffs for many seasons. 5 years? Or 6 years? "

" Then James came and let the fans of this stadium see again Hopefully, he has been here for 7 seasons, he has succeeded and won the FMVP. Since he has come here, the Lakers have James, he should do the right thing and must build a championship lineup around James. This should be undisputed. Now is the time for the Lakers management to show wisdom, because it is necessary to give James some voice, and cannot limit Doncic, the future first person. "

"The Lakers management is not easy in the West. They have a lot of work to do. The previous deal with Ma Wei was cancelled. In the summer, we must find a suitable center, strengthen the wings, and then evaluate James and Doncic's attitude towards lineup adjustments so that they can continue to stay both of them. "

James joined the Lakers in 2018. At that time, the Lakers had not entered the playoffs for five consecutive years. It can be said that it was the most difficult time for the Lakers. James then joined. Although he still did not enter the playoffs in his first season, James rested more than 20 games due to a groin injury. Before his injury, the Lakers' record was still very good. The next season, the Lakers' lineup was greatly adjusted, and young players were exchanged for Thick Brows, and the two teamed up to win the championship.

At that time, the Lakers' championship season should have made Lakers fans remember it deeply, because the atmosphere inside the team is very harmonious, the lineup is strong, and everyone on the outside talks and laughs. I summarized the interesting stories at that time:

1. Pope's Law: Lakers fans at that time concluded that as long as Pope scored in the game, the Lakers would definitely win the game. Although this rule is not absolute, throughout the 2019-2020 season, Pope's performance was remarkable. He was a reliable role player and three-pointer pitcher for the team. He was the team's third scoring point in the playoffs. He hit 46 three-pointers, making the team's most three-pointers.

2. Players have close relationships off the court: the team atmosphere is harmonious, and the players have good relationships off the court. According to Pope, everyone visits and has dinner every day, like Brother Davis in his quarantine diary, "The happiest thing every day is at 8 o'clock in the evening, and everyone squeezes in Howard's room to play 2K." Their relationship is as close as brothers, and this chemistry is rare in the NBA.

3. James secretly practiced left-hand shooting: Everyone in the locker room knew that James was secretly practicing left-hand shooting, which shows that his strict requirements for improving his own skills also reflects the good communication atmosphere within the team, and everyone knows each other's training situation.

4. Howard actively teaches new players to get a position: Howard plays the role of a veteran in the team, actively teaches new players how to get a position, helps young players grow, and also shows an atmosphere of unity and mutual assistance within the team.

5. McGee is the leader of the atmosphere group: McGee is good at waving towels on the bench to cheer up his teammates. He is the leader of the team's atmosphere group. He contributes to the team in this way and brings a positive atmosphere to the team.

It's a pity that the lineup was disbanded after the Lakers won the championship, which now makes many fans feel unsatisfied. Many James fans also said that if the Lakers management was willing to spend money to leave the lineup, James might have won the five championships long ago.

Shmas also revealed at the end of the show that he heard uncertain news, saying that next season may be James' last season because he heard remarks from No. 23, 23 seasons!
