Jeff Van Gundy thinks lakers should think about trading LeBron James this offseason

quote:

---

whoever takes LeBron has to take Lonzo Ball too.

we're acting like the Lakers are 15-67. It's ridiculous. They'll probably be like 36-46

I’m going to say no on that one. Lakers were solid the frew games they were healthy.

Put a few decent pieces (Center, perimeter shooters) and this will be a good team.. LeBron is still a great player.

Send his arse to Atlanta or Phoenix

Sign him, trade him for more young players, trade young players for a young superstar while retaining core, profit

Wat?

There's no way the Hawks make that trade.

they lakers are like 15-8 when lebron, ingram, and lonzo are all healthy and playing together

Glad to see that A&M fans praise mediocrity in their professional sports interests too so in other words, when they’re all healthy, which is around 35% of the time, they’re playing at a 5th-place-in-the-west level?

Yes. I am fine that with a roster that was never supposed to win a championship that the Lakers played at about a 50 win pace when our starting lineup actually played

You do understand that the ability to stay healthy is kind of a key attribute for athletes, right? I’m sure Chuck Liddell would still be fighting at a championship level if he didn’t have severe CTE at this point, too. It’s an issue if your key players can’t stay healthy or choose not to play because of Lebron’s weak leadership, but I’m sure that this situation is completely fine in your eyes. 30-36 but 50 wins in Aggy’s delusional minds

I caught this exchange late last night on a replay of the game.

It was spectacular. Can Gundy simply said: you have to have literally all options on the table at this point and Jackson lost his shite.

In reality, though, if you could trade LeBron for a kings ransom, and get Durant and Kawahi in FA, then that's a far better long term strategy.
