[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Lakers formed the Big Three last season and vowed to return to the championship glory. However, the effect was not as good as expected and even missed the playoffs. There is still no significant improvement this season.

As the career of the first brother "Lebron" James (Lebron James) who just passed his 38th birthday comes to an end, the Lakers may have a drastic reorganization next season.

NBA insider Chris Mannix (Chris Mannix) broke the news that the Lakers may change the team's current situation by trading James next summer.

He boldly predicted in "Sports Illustrated" that after the Lakers get rid of Russell Westbrook's premium contract, they will have ample salary space to sign big-name free agents, but he pointed out that the Lakers will trade James.

"If this (trading LeBron James) didn't happen, would the Lakers still be able to build around LeBron James and Anthony Davis going into 2023? Would LeBron be willing?" Mannix wrote. Determined, but if the Lakers want to lock up superstar-level free agency next season, it seems that there is no better choice."

If James is traded this offseason, he still has a one-year $100 million extended contract. After the contract is over, James will officially become a free agent.

At that time, he will be 39 years old, and how he will continue his career has attracted much attention.
