LeBron James has been the face of the Lakers for quite some time now. When rumors about his possible departure from the franchise started to surface, the Lakers nation was scared to their core.
However, King James came out and shut down those rumors, especially the one featuring the Golden State Warriors. He also expressed his desire to finish his two decade-long playing career as a player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron James talks on Lakers-Warriors trade rumors
LeBron James was making a lot of headlines recently after a trade rumor suggested that the 4-time NBA champion could see a move to Stephen Curry’s team soon. This rumor raised a lot of eyebrows and the fanbase was split in two. One half of the fans were exhilarated by the thought of Bron joining the Dubs while the other half dismissed the rumors as a ridiculous joke played by a teenager.
Now, during the NBA All-Star weekend, Bron got the opportunity to share his views on the trade rumors. He was asked about what he knew about the rumor and for how long did he entertain it.
“It did not go far at all. I heard about it when everybody else heard about it. You know Charles (Barkley) has been in the league, Kenny (Smith) has been in the league, Shaq’s been in the league and sometimes these conversations happen behind closed doors,” said LeBron.
Bron highlighted that he was not aware of the rumors before it was brought to the public attention by the hosts of Inside the NBA. He reaffirmed that the players do not know about the decisions of the franchise most of the time and usually get to know the news just days before their trade.
LeBron James wishes to end his career with Lakers
LeBron James addressed the crowd present at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, before his 20th All-Star appearance. He gave a brief speech and answered a few questions about him and his career. King James expressed his wish to end his two-decade long career as a player for the Lakers and in doing so, he shut down all the trade rumors surrounding him.
LeBron was also recently surrounded by rumors of him cheating on his wife. However, he did not pay it any heed as he said, “I am a Laker and I am happy and have been very happy being a Laker for the last six years, and I hope it stays that way. But I do not have the answer to how long it will be or which uniform I will be in. Hopefully, it is with the Lakers. It is a great organization, with many greats. But we will see.”
