Everyone has sources.
I have known Jabari Young from CNBCCNBC for a while and he isn’t someone to just throw something out there for a hot take, so I think this is legitimate information he is receiving.
Even though the current NBA season is still technically suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, its return this year seems less and less likely with each passing day.
Team executives are starting to feel the pressure, frustrated with the lack of information from the league and pushing for an outright cancellation of the season so everyone can focus on safely resuming play next season.
NBA team executives and players’ agents spoke to CNBC in recent weeks about the challenges in resuming play. They said team owners are concerned with liability issues and are conflicted about whether or not to give up on the current season. The individuals spoke on condition of anonymity as they aren’t authorized to discuss league matters publicly.
It makes sense that LeBron wouldn’t want this to happen.
The Lakers are #1 in the West and are stacked. This was going to be his best shot to win and title. Nothing is guaranteed for next season, so I can see why he is pushing for the NBA to come back.
