Column: For better or worse, Lakers need to keep LeBron James
If the Lakers want to win another championship and avoid years of mediocrity, they must trade LeBron James.
James was a Band-Aid that magically dropped from the sky into their desperate hands. The Lakers signing him was less about what they did to recruit him and more about him wanting to play for a traditional power in the country’s second-largest media market. The Lakers didn’t have an identity before they signed James, which is why he became their identity. His vision became their vision. The approach resulted in a championship, in 2020, after the team acquired Anthony Davis in exchange for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-round picks. But the same nudge from James that convinced the Lakers to deal for Davis has since resulted in a disastrous deal for Russell Westbrook.
If the Lakers were under smart management, an argument could be made for them swapping James for a collection of young players and draft picks. But they’re not.
