Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[DallasMaverick]

Look at the public hissyfit LeBron threw, when the Lakers front office did NOT trade for Kyrie Irving, but instead said WE know better. Fast forward here is the Lakers in the first round of the play-offs with Russell, Beasley, Vanderbilt, Bamba and Haichmura. That´s how you build a long-term relationship with your player. Is LeBron still complaining? Nope.

Now might be a good time to remind us all of how badly LeBron wanted Russell Westbrook, and how the front office gave him what he wanted, even at the expense of all their depth and some quality young players.

Maybe they learned their lesson the second time around.

Not saying this was the situation with Luka / Kyrie at all - I have no inside information.
