Paul confirmed that the reports circulating were indeed true, as reliable sources like Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN and Brian Windhorst had reported it. He commended LeBron and the Warriors organization for their aggressiveness and desire to compete. However, Paul quickly dismissed the idea of LeBron considering such a move, emphasizing his commitment to the Lakers and his partnership with the team.
When asked about LeBron’s happiness as a Laker, Paul expressed that he has been more than happy with his experience. He stressed the importance of LeBron’s happiness and the need for people to understand and respect that. Paul encouraged LeBron to enjoy the game, as he believes it’s unrealistic to expect him or any player to win every year.
Smith questioned whether LeBron could find fulfillment and have a good time playing with the young Lakers without being in a position to win. Paul acknowledged that it was easier said than done for a competitor like LeBron. He discussed the pressure and opinions that constantly surround LeBron, noting that it’s impossible to please everyone and prove oneself to those with differing opinions. Paul’s objective is to help LeBron stay focused and enjoy the game without getting caught up in external expectations.
Paul confirmed the rumors but trashed the idea of LeBron James leaving the Los Angeles Lakers and moving to the Warriors.
It seems like Steph and LeBron have spoken about the idea and San Francisco is not too far from Los Angeles, so LeBron wouldn’t have to uproot his family. It is something to watch in the offseason.
