Agent Rich Paul Drops Bombshell: Will LeBron James Truly Stay With Lakers This Season?
Advertisement
Rich Paul, LeBron’s agent, shot down any trade rumors fast on the “Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul” podcast (produced by The Ringer).
Kellerman: “Is LeBron, realistically, a guy who could not be on the Lakers at the end of this year?”
Paul: “No.”
Kellerman: “He will be on the Lakers at the end of this year?”
Paul: “Yeah. Where’s he going to go?”
Constructing a LeBron James trade creates many of the same obstacles as trading Giannis Antetokounmpo (and explains why he is more likely to be traded during the offseason). LeBron makes $52.6 million this season. In a world of tax aprons, how many teams can take on that large a contract for what would be the No. 2 or 3 player on a championship-caliber team? Beyond that, the teams LeBron might want to join — Cleveland, New York, Golden State — are all up against the tax aprons, with restrictions on what they can do (none can take back more money than they send out) and little room to maneuver.
