Interestingly enough, people from the front office of both camps met recently. According to reports, Nets GM Sean Marks and the Lakers executive met this week at the NBA Combine.

While potential trades could have been discussed, there are chances the meeting was just a casual affair between the two. However, how can you keep LeBron James out of the news? Fans speculate the crazy idea of LeBron joining the Nets.

If anyhow LeBron joins the Nets, the trio of James, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving has the potential to dominate the league. 

The Nets would have to offer up to 5 players in order to acquire James. Let’s say the Nets offer Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Bruce Brown, Cam Thomas, and Nicholas Claxton to the Lakers. There is a possibility King James goes to the Nets!

With the unexpected meeting between the Nets GM and Lakers executive doing the rounds of the internet, fans on Twitter have gone into a frenzy. LeBron joining the Nets in a trade is the issue concerning the fans. Take a look.
