A recent ESPN report has brought to light a surprising chapter in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers. According to the report, former controlling owner Jeanie Buss reportedly entertained the idea of trading superstar LeBron James. The revelation indicates that the Los Angeles Clippers were even discussed as a potential destination for the four-time NBA champion.
This confidential deliberation reportedly took place in 2022, following a period characterized by instability and challenges in the Lakers’ decision-making processes. Although the discussion progressed to the point of seriously considering a move, Buss ultimately decided against executing the trade, and James remained with the Lakers.
