Famous reporter: A Western Conference executive believes that Paul Fu s statement is to put pressure on the Lakers all in next season

Yesterday, ESPN famous reporters Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst jointly wrote an article about the situation of the Lakers.

Last month, James' agent Ritchie Paul spoke with Shams: "LeBron hopes to compete for the championship. He knows that the Lakers are preparing for the future. He understands that, but he values ​​the chance to actually win the championship. We are very grateful for the eight-year partnership with Jenny and Pelinka, and we think the Lakers are an important part of LeBron's career. We understand the difficulty of winning while preparing for the future. We do want to evaluate the most favorable choice for LeBron at this stage. He wants to make every remaining season meaningful, and the Lakers understand and support it and hope to make the best decision for him."

An Western Conference executive said that Paul's statement is to pressure the Lakers to all in next season, rather than using the current strategy of retaining cap space as much as possible to prepare for the 26 and 27 summers.
