LeBron James’ Mindset During Tense Wednesday Meeting, Revealed

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James doesn’t like the fact that the NBA has no plan on the next move and many players have the same mindset. The Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their game against the Orlando Magic. LA followed their example. The NBA rescheduled all three games it looks like the situation is stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The three-time NBA champion supported the idea of not finishing the postseason. However, he changed his mind during Wednesday’s meeting in Orlando.

“That included the ongoing discussions with James. ‘He wants to play,’ one source with knowledge of his thinking said Thursday. It was thus discordant to hear the Wednesday night news that he had been one of the voices opting to stop the season. But sources say James’ beliefs may have been twisted in the re-telling.

“His frustration, per sources both in and outside of his camp, was not with those who wanted to to continue to play; it was with the lack of a plan going forward after the Bucks caught most of their playing brethren off guard with their decision to walk out Wednesday. The Lakers’ team vote Wednesday night, per a source, was not unanimous; some players wanted to keep playing, while others wanted to walk. And, as ever, people then looked to James.

“‘They’re going with whatever you (James) want to do,’” a source said. “‘Do you want to play or do you not want to play?’” And that’s when James figuratively said ‘let me sleep on it,’ and left the meeting, only to continue the discussion into the night.”

LeBron may change his mindset

King James and the Lakers have the best record in the West. The team is 3-1 in the series against the Portland Trail Blazers. LeBron’s team needs one more win to make the second round of the 2020 playoffs.

The four-time NBA MVP is the face of the NBA. Everyone is focused on his next move. If LeBron decides to play, the rest of the NBA will follow his example. But, if LeBron decides to sit out the rest of the season, many players will give up on their quest to win the title.

The Lakers played their best game right before the boycott. But, players came to Orlando to make a statement and raise awareness. A lot of people died at the hands of the police and the situation doesn’t seem to improve.

It’s a rather awkward situation in the NBA and analysts have made so many theories. What’s the next move? Will the NBA shut down the 2020 season?
