LeBron James’ future with the Los Angeles Lakers is once again under the microscope, this time one of his former teammates, stirring up the pot.
Udonis Haslem did not back down when evaluating the Lakers' current roster and what it means to the 40-year-old LeBron.
“I don't bring them to people in Los Angeles. This is not the Los Angeles Lakers' championship roster,” Haslem said. “If LeBron James wants to get himself into a championship situation, it has to be another opportunity he needs to look for.”
LeBron is still one of the top players in the league despite his age. However, due to uncertainty on his contract status, there are speculations about whether the Lakers or James would like to continue their partnership after this season.
Haslem is a key piece of Miami title and even hints at a possible hot reunion.
“I do know a place that is welcome and he will always be welcomed,” Haslem said. “Just put it there.”
Still, any move to Miami seems unlikely, given their current roster. The lack of depth of competition in calories will almost certainly demand the All-Star center Bam Adebayo to Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, some believe that the Lakers made a mistake and even entertained the idea of moving forward from James.
“I don't know why the Lakers seem to be anxious to get rid of LeBron James' business,” Fox Sports' Nick Wright said first. “I don't want the Lakers to replace LeBron James better than LeBron James.”
