James and the Lakers have a quarrel! He has not met his new boss so far. He bought out and joined Davis. He may have a way out.

James executes the player option for the first time in his career, locking in an annual salary of 52.6 million next season, because if he doesn't do that, God knows what else he can get. There must be a conflict between him and the Lakers, and there is a high probability that he has become a stalemate. It is easy to speculate from the following objective facts.
First of all, James announced the implementation of the player option and the Lakers have remained silent so far. There is no official news that the team welcomes his return. Not to mention the fact that he is a life-threatening thing like holding a press conference, he is not willing to send an official push without spending a penny. Does this mean anything else needs to be explained clearly?
The cold reality has flowed to James. He once called the wind and rain on social media, but now he has no minimum respect from the home team. Even if the role players stay in the team, the official media should at least symbolically express it, let alone the starting core level player like James, isn’t this a stuttering situation? What’s this?
Secondly, after experiencing the shocking $10 billion deal, the Lakers had a rare zero exchange with James after the new boss airborne. Walter manages $325 billion in assets under his command. He is a big shot. His influence in the sports and business world is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the so-called media darling of James, such as the so-called business wizard, is nothing to the boss's eyes.
Walter did not treat James as a dish after accepting the Lakers, indicating that his name was not available in the team's future plans. In the face of capital, James is just a player after all, and after all, he is just a Party B after all. It is completely expected that he will be abandoned at the age of 41.
Everyone knows that the Lakers need to strengthen and need an inside player who can partner with Doncic. Signing Ayton cannot solve the problem. He is lazy in playing basketball, and his technical characteristics are only good at eating cakes and not shooting three-pointers. He is destined to be one of the alternatives.
The Lakers currently have less than 14 million in salary space from the first rich line, but there are still three players to sign, and there are almost no possibility of strengthening in this case. James' announcement of the execution of a salary of 52.6 million will undoubtedly put the team in a dilemma. The new boss may have expected that both sides could sit down and talk about salary cuts to leave room for reinforcement for the team, but in this way, he will directly put the team on the bar, no one will be very upset.
In addition, for the sake of father and son on the same stage, James forced the Lakers to sign Brownie, who had no NBA ability at all, and turned good competitive sports into a circus. This practice will eventually usher in a day of liquidation after the Lakers signed the new nuclear Doncic. Maybe it may not be this summer, but it will not be far away.
James' average data is still pretty. Last season, he has 24 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists. However, his weak defense and slow pace are destined to not be able to win another championship trophy. At least Doncic is impossible when he was in the Lakers. The two obviously don't fit and have to be used separately. In this case, trading James is the wisest choice.
The arrogant and arrogant old James will definitely prevent him from being traded. He has only had his own job change so far in his career, and he has no life to be traded, so the two sides' talk of buying out may be a decent ending. As for whether he will continue to hug thick eyebrows and thighs to join the Mavericks with the championship, or to stage the final traffic myth with Curry, it is all a good choice. Anyway, who to hug is not hug.
