LeBron James continues to uphold his standards as one of the best in the league. Father time has arguably been no competition for the King. At 38, the Los Angeles Lakers forward is putting up monster numbers for his franchise. However, the four-time champions’ efforts haven’t translated to success. Notably, the Lakers have a disappointing record of 20-25. With an option to leave next season, an NBA executive gave his realistic opinion on a possible team-up with Stephen Curry.

NBA history has Curry and James marking an era of their own. In their time on the top, the pair constantly met on the stage of the NBA finals. However, what started as a bitter rivalry is now a well-known friendship. In addition, ever since LeBron James admitted his dream teammate to be the Baby Face Assassin, rumors have been flying around.

He said, “Finally, while the Warriors want to keep Steph Curry’s window open as long as possible, I can’t see the Lakers being interested in any Golden State package centered around their young trio of James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and/or Moses Moody. Nor would the Lakers do anything to help their in-state rivals extend their dynasty.”

The Golden State Warriors have arguably one of the most impressive young cores. Jordan Poole has brewed into a star fitting in as a lethal sixth man. However, to make a trade for the Akron Hammer, either Poole or Andrew Wiggins will have to be in the conversation. That might be the only scenario that sparks the interest of the Lakers. The reigning champions get an all-time great with the most finals experience in the NBA today alongside Stephen Curry and their long-time core. On the other hand, the Lakers solve their troubling shooting worries all while getting young players.
