The NBA rumor mill never sleeps. It just gets lazier. Word on the street is LeBron James isn’t leaving Hollywood, and he wants to bring an old friend along for the ride.
According to ESPN’s Marc J. Spears, LeBron’s return to the Lakers is practically a done deal. No surprise there. But the real kicker? Kevin Love might be packing his bags for Los Angeles too.
It’s the Cleveland reunion nobody asked for. They won a title together back in 2016, a lifetime ago in basketball years. Now, they are old. Love is slow. The Lakers, desperate as always for star power and narrative, seem to think retro is the way forward.
Will it work? Doubtful. Defense wins championships, and this duo isn’t stopping anyone in transition anymore. But it will sell jerseys. It will keep the talk shows buzzing. In modern basketball, sometimes that is all that actually matters.
