LeBron James’ Impact On Helping Lakers Land Giannis Antetokounmpo

Lakers superstar LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time. ESPN and Sports Illustrated put Giannis Antetokounmpo on top of their list. Is there any chance for LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo to play for the Lakers? These two have taken a different path in their career, and according to the latest rumors, they may end up playing together. The NBA is full of surprises. Life takes us places, and you never know what happens next. If these two were to play together, they will have to put some effort first.

“James is in the second year of four-year, $154 million deal he signed with LA last year. Davis is also a UFA next year but is wildly expected to re-sign with the Lakers. Antetokounmpo, the reigning NBA MVP, is currently on the final year of a 4-year, $100,000,000 contract he signed with the Bucks in the summer of 2017-18 season. The Greek Freak will indeed be the most coveted unrestricted free agent this summer.

“In order to sign Giannis, the Lakers and James likely will have to come up with an agreement of a pay cut of some sort. The same scenario existed for the late Kobe Bryant years ago, but the Black Mamba did not budge during the Lakers’ rebuilding seasons.

James might be willing to bite the bullet, especially if it means landing a third superstar in Antetokounmpo.”

LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Anthony Davis will win a title with the Lakers

According to Giannis’ past comments, he’d definitely leave the Bucks if they don’t win the title this season. On one occasion, he also said that he’d love to play with some of his brothers in “Milwaukee, LA, whatever.” We really liked the “LA” part.

Does this mean that Giannis has opened his path to an exit from the Bucks? The Lakers are probably top favorites when it comes to getting him. Giannis would be the perfect addition to the team. Imagine seeing him, LeBron and Anthony Davis playing together. They are definitely winning a title in that case. Impossible is nothing, and things can take an unexpected turn overnight. For now, the Lakers are considered favorites to win the championship.
