Laker Fans Left in Blatant Denial After Exciting LeBron James-Chris Paul News
Follow Us
The latest news update has Los Angeles Lakers fans in absolute denial. According to one scout in the western conference, the Phoenix Suns would be the most ideal landing spot for LeBron James. James, who will turn 38 next month recently signed a two-year contract extension with the Lakers. However, if the Lakers continue to struggle, James might want to re-evaluate his future with the team.
The current situation of James has him under contract with Los Angeles for the 2023-24 season with a player option for the 2024-25 season. Although, with the current 2-9 record of the Lakers, James could request a trade if the struggle ensues.

James may be entering the twilight of his career and he would not like to be part of a team that ends up missing the playoffs for the second straight year.
Fans think LeBron James won’t leave the Lakers
The Phoenix Suns are currently in the third spot in the western conference. With an 8-4 record, the Suns have a stable core of DeAndre Ayton, Devin Booker, and veteran point guard Chris Paul. But the Suns seem to be lacking one key piece in their roster that would help them get over the hump.
The Phoenix Suns had an almost successful title run in the 2021 NBA playoffs. But they eventually fell short in front of the Milwaukee Bucks. And their last year’s second-round exit from the playoffs wasn’t an improvement either. So, bringing LeBron James in could give the team the edge they require to make a deep playoff run. As per recent reports, the Suns are a potential landing spot for James.
