Trades in the NBA never fail to amaze fans – and it’s not even the actual trades that leave fans shocked, rather it’s the rumors that keep people baffled. And one name, put into the question was: LeBron James.
In the latest The Stephen A. Smith Show, LeBron’s agent, Rich Paul talked with Stephen A. Smith, where he was asked what Paul would have said about LeBron leaving the Lakers and possibly considering joining the Golden State Warriors.
At this point of your career, where’s the win? Because if you go somewhere, and you fall short, then I can count 50 losses. So what’s the value in that?
Replied Rich Paul, where he went on to elaborate on making impulsive decisions, giving examples of a few people he had known who couldn’t succeed because they made “costly decisions”.
LeBron’s future has been a topic of discussion for a while, with rumors that have gone over what fans usually expected. While the icon is still hitting his best form even while edging his 40s, what he has done this season for the team has been rewarded monumentally.
And with the future of the Los Angeles Lakers and Darvin Ham in question, it is a double pressure upon the “King”. But as per Rich Paul, and in his own words, there seems no win leaving the Lakers, hence making the situation even more open for discussion.
Fans react to Rich Paul’s bold statements
After Rich Paul’s bold and clear claims surfaced on the web, fans couldn’t help but give their thoughts on the whole LeBron trade sage. With him being 39 years old, making him one of the oldest active players, still hitting his top form on the court has been a huge play point for the Lakers. And Paul was clear on not finding any positive with his client and long-time friend leaving LA.

Who knows? Maybe we could see the partnership between Stephen Curry and LeBron James in the future with both icons playing for the same team in the league. But with Rich Paul, the move is far from reality.
