Good guys, the Warriors almost got James, and the Lakers' trade talks with the Warriors failed. According to well-known journalist Marc Stein, the Lakers had serious discussions with the Warriors about trading James before the trade deadline for the 2023-24 season. Negotiations between the two teams made unprecedented progress, but in the end, they were not resolved. The main reason is that James' agent, Rich Paul, is adamantly opposed to James changing teams.

Although Warriors owner Lacob and Lakers owner Jeanie Buss had some separate conversations, and Green personally lobbied James to join the Warriors, Rich Paul has been pleading with both teams to abandon the idea because he wants to save James from the negative effects of a fourth career team change.

James going to the Warriors will have a much greater negative impact than Durant joining the Warriors in 2016. Even Durant's "surrender" has a huge impact on public opinion, and it is not as good as James to go to the Warriors. Whether it is the previous finals or the subsequent play-offs, James has been competing with the Warriors all these years, and the two sides have been enemies for many years.

Although the relationship between James and Curry, with James coming to the Western Conference, the two sides are getting older, and the two are getting better and better in private. This success at the Olympics is a testament to this. However, in the NBA, the two sides have been facing each other for many years, and the "sworn enemies" have joined hands, and controversy will always be with them.

If James joins the Warriors and wins the championship, it is better to say that the negative impact will be a little less. If he doesn't win the championship, it will be a failed transfer that will cast an indelible shadow on James' final career. And James is nearly 40 years old and can't stand such a toss. If you have to change teams, you should make efforts by Lakers management to let Curry come to the Warriors. James is the first person in the league, how can he go to the Warriors?

At that time, when I heard that the Lakers and Warriors talked about trading James, I thought it was outrageous. I thought it was a preliminary conversation, but I didn't expect the conversation to be quite in-depth, which was even more outrageous.

At least for now, James is also a league-wide superstar who can trade for any superstar. BBR, a well-known data website, predicted James' statistics for the new season: 26.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.2 steals per 36 minutes, shooting 51.3% from the field, 36.6% from three-point range, and 74.7% from the free throw line.

You see, the 40-year-old man is still in charge of his own and can support the whole team. If you choose the core of the team, maybe the aging James is not the best choice. If you pick someone who can hold up a big scene on the playoff stage, then Lao Zhan is definitely more qualified than anyone else.

Pippen has said that James will be the first player in NBA history to have statues on three different teams.

James has played 11 seasons in the Cavaliers and 4 seasons in the Heat, and next season will be James' 7th year with the Lakers.

Beginning with the Cavaliers and ending with the Cavaliers is the long-cherished wish of many fans. They want James to eventually retire as a Cavaliers player and play his final season with the Cavaliers. James currently has two years left on his current contract with the Lakers, and next offseason James can go to any team as a free agent, and a return to the Cavaliers is also possible.

However, James' business and family moved to Los Angeles. There is a high probability that James will not change teams, he will play the last 2 years, or even another year, and wait until his youngest son Bryce enters the league and finally retire with the Lakers.
