Enjoying his family and friends, LeBron James has not decided on his future, although his return is expected.

But that doesn’t mean that the King is very involved with the Lakers, to the point where he would refuse to be associated with front office decisions.

The coming weeks will be important for the Lakers, still looking for a coach after the dismissal of Darvin Ham.

Rob Pelinka wants to take his time and interview numerous candidates in order to make the right decision, especially after the Ham fiasco. But the latest rumor, leading to JJ Redick, is far from pleasing fans.

We are, after all, talking about a novice coach, who could be responsible for helping the Lakers win the title with the added bonus of a LeBron James in his final basketball years.

A very questionable decision if it is confirmed, to the point where the King does not want to be associated with this slump. It must be said that Pelinka must also be put under pressure following his bad decisions.

LeBron ready to dissociate himself from the Lakers?

Pelinka has made a number of bad choices over the years, whether we’re talking about D’Angelo Russell, Russell Westbrook, Alex Caruso or Darvin Ham.

Lebron ? He doesn’t want to be blamed when it comes time to do the math, according to Anthony F. Irwin. This is why this Monday, Shams Charania explained that the King is not involved at all in the decisions .

Anthony F. Irwin : “LeBron doesn’t want to be blamed again for a decision that Rob Pelinka approves of, since he’s still being talked about over Westbrook. I talked about it on the show last night. »

Even if James is perhaps not against the arrival of Redick, his podcast partner, as coach at the Lakers, it will above all be Pelinka’s decision. And if there are still failures at the end, it will be up to the GM to take responsibility.

The new Lakers coach will be chosen by the GM and his front office, not by LeBron James. The latter remains quietly in his corner and waits to see the result. The focus is done.
