Kyrie Irving and the Celtics’ state of dismay

While the Golden State Warriors have interest in trading for LeBron James, it is continued to believe that his preference is to remain with the franchise. James is hoping the Lakers improve the roster and they are on the market for a big man and a guard.

“I’m a gigantic actions over words guy and LeBron’s actions at last year’s trade deadline when he rejected the interest from the Warriors last summer,” said Brian Windhorst on Get Up. “He sat there and offered to take less money from the Lakers if they could find somebody in free agency. They didn’t and then he went ahead and signed a three-year contract with a no trade clause anyway. All of those actions make it extremely clear he wants to be a Laker. That said, we have two months basically, two months from right now is when the trade deadline is- if he changes his mind, I promise you it will get public and we will all know. But right now he wants to be a Laker and he’s focused on having the Lakers help him get some defensive players.”
