LeBron James continues to uphold his standards as one of the best in the league. One could say that the father of time was no match for the king. At 38, the Los Angeles Lakers forward is putting up monster numbers for his franchise. The four-time champion’s efforts have not translated into success.
The Lakers in particular have a disappointing record of 20-25.With the option of retiring next season, an NBA executive has offered his realistic view of a potential Stephen Curry team.
In NBA history, Curry and James started an era of their own. During their time at the top, the couple constantly met on stage at the NBA Finals. But what began as a bitter rivalry is now an intimate friendship. Ever since LeBron James admitted his dream teammate was the Baby Face Assassin, rumors have been circulating.
However, according to The Athletic, one NBA executive believes the Warriors would rather develop their young core. Headlines about a successful LeBron James trade have swept the NBA media. Several organizations have the assets to attract the future top scorer of the league. However, when it comes to the Bay, one executive believes Bob Myers won’t sacrifice his future.

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.”
