NBA (DR)

Not involved in the search for the new Lakers coach, LeBron James seems to have distanced himself from the decisions to be made. Perhaps regrets for the King, who has suffered some disappointments in recent years.

While the Lakers are active on the market, the California franchise is still looking for its new coach.

James Borrego or JJ Redick are cited but one thing is certain: LeBron James is not involved in the process.

Long nicknamed “LeGM” for his desire to make some decisions behind the scenes, it seems that the King has changed his approach.

That doesn’t mean that the Angelinos won’t ask him for his opinion, but James prefers to stay away, he who still has to officially decide on his future in the NBA and is almost 40 years old.

This decision is also perhaps explained by past disappointments, and there were two notable ones according to Shams Charania.

LeBron James disappointed by certain moves at the Lakers?

On a recent episode of “Up & Adams,” Charania confirmed that James had a few goals since arriving in Los Angeles. Among them ? Make Tyronn Lue the coach and Kyrie Irving the point guard. However, and despite some offensives, the Angelinos were never able to achieve James’ wishes. Much to the dismay of some fans.

Shams Charania on LeBron James : “Well in 2019, LeBron really wanted Tyronn Lue to be the coach. The Lakers had negotiations with him, but they decided not to hire him. It was the first thing he wanted, but it didn’t happen. And then in recent years, there has been Kyrie Irving. Two attempts to get him, because LeBron really wanted him at point guard. »

“That didn’t happen either. There were obviously some things LeBron wanted, but nothing happened. In his perfect world, Ty Lue would be the coach and Kyrie Irving would be his point guard. »

Knowing that Irving likes it in Dallas, it is unlikely that the leader will suddenly decide to go to Los Angeles from now on. It’s another thing for Lue, who cannot find an agreement for an extension according to some insiders, which means that a departure is possible. But the timing may not be right with the Lakers.

LeBron James had certain desires since his arrival at the Lakers, but his leaders did not always listen. Bad news for the King, who today prefers to stand aside.
