Breaking News: Looking Spicy As 4-Time All-Star Wants To Team Up With LeBron James
Should the Lakers try to make this happen?
As the Los Angeles Lakers progress through the offseason, there is still work to be done on the roster. After experiencing an early playoff elimination last season, the Lakers decided to part ways with head coach Darvin Ham and appointed former NBA guard JJ Redick as his replacement.
While Redick might possess a better understanding of how to maximize the roster, it is evident that the team’s talent needs improvement. Los Angeles finds itself in a challenging situation in terms of roster development, leaving general manager Rob Pelinka with a significant task ahead.
Despite this, the team boasts top-tier talents in the form of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, providing them with a competitive edge regardless of the supporting cast. The presence of these stars grants the Lakers respect across the league, potentially making them an attractive destination for other players.
During the ESPYs, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was asked if there was a current NBA player he would like to team up with, and without hesitation, he mentioned LeBron James, highlighting the appeal of playing alongside him.

Green and James have forged a strong friendship over the years, so Green’s response shouldn’t be unexpected for those who have been following their relationship. Bringing the two together would undoubtedly create compelling entertainment, given that they are among the most competitive players in the NBA.
Nevertheless, both players have recently committed to new contracts with their current teams, making the prospect of them teaming up unlikely. While it’s always possible, unless one of them seeks a trade to join the other’s team, it will likely remain a mere fantasy
