Stephen A. Smith also favors the trade LeBron narrative. Smith predicts that the Lakers would soon end up with 11 straight defeats. He believes that the Lakers would get some of their assets back with a LeBron trade. He said, “I wasn’t saying to trade LeBron James because it’s LeBron James’ fault. What I was saying was, he’s the only thing of value that you have. You’re the Los Angeles Lakers, you’re Jeanie Buss — you’re gonna have to do this. The Lakers are just not good.”
The Los Angeles Lakers are certainly in a dark tunnel. Fans and experts are voicing their solutions that could prove to be the light at the end of the tunnel. However, it is in the hands of the organization’s front office and the team to fix the situation they find themselves in.
