Dave McMenamin of ESPN talks about the Los Angeles Lakers improving their roster via potential Kyrie Irving, Buddy Hield/Myles Turner, or Utah trades:
“LeBron just wants to be in a situation where he can compete for the playoffs once again. Once he’s in the playoffs he feels like ‘I got a chance.’ More often than not, when he makes the postseason, he’s in the NBA Finals. … [LeBron James] recognizes that it could lead up all the way to the trade deadline before that type of deal could occur.”
