Stephen A. Smith Makes Has Bold Theory For Durant Playing Together With LeBron

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers will try to land a superstar. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Kawhi Leonard are set to become free agents this summer, and each of these players has been linked to LeBron’s team. Well, things won’t go really smooth for the Lakers, and they will have to compete with the Knicks and the Clippers to get an All-Star. LeBron needs another star on the team. He didn’t have much luck in his debut season with the Lakers. Adding another big name is a must, and fans are all-in when it comes to signing Durant. What does Stephen A. Smith say about this?

Seeing LeBron and Durant on the same team is like a dream come true, and they will definitely win championships. They have similar talents, and that may turn into a big problem.

According to Smith, joining the Lakers would be the worst move for Durant. He agreed with Stan Van Gundy, and gave his reasons to see things this way.

“That was my answer, the answer was the Lakers, but it’s for a different reason,” Smith said. “Not to say that any of your reasons were wrong, because they’re all right on point and I agree with you about the Knicks because they’d win something and at least be a contender with him there and that would help bring stability.

“But in the case of where he should go, where he shouldn’t go, I think the Lakers are the last place that Kevin Durant should want to go for this reason: clearly he’s looking to eclipse LeBron not help LeBron remain afloat, and we all know that if KD went to LA he would be viewed as a secondary dude to LeBron, because LeBron got picked first, LeBron’s at 3-time Champion, even though he (Durant) will be a three-time champion – the very thing that he wants to avoid, he will be invited, and that would be an absolute emotional nightmare for KD. The last place he needs to go is to the Lakers.”

Is Durant interested in playing alongside LeBron, Lonzo Ball and the rest of the guys?
