Shoken News: Golden State warriors head coach announce the leaving of….
In a chat with Draymond Green on the ‘7PM in Brooklyn’ podcast, NBA legend Carmelo Anthony told him to his face why LeBron James would not work on the modern-day Golden State Warriors. To the shock of Draymond, and other viewers, Anthony denied that they would be able to win the championship together had James been traded to the team back in early February.
You gotta have big cahones to pick that phone up and say that… but I don’t think they win a championship. I don’t think so because guess what? If LeBron is going to Golden State, you gotta build another team,” said Anthony. “He outta there, Klay is gone, he can’t stay! It’s gonna be them two and Kuminga…”
There was buzz about LeBron James potentially joining forces with Stephen Curry this season. Before the deadline, the Warriors and Lakers even briefly discussed the potential for trading LeBron and it set the NBA world on fire with reactions. Sadly, a deal was never materialized and both sides kept their teams intact. But now Anthony says this was a good thing for Golden State.
In the end, LeBron and the Lakers ultimately pulled out of the deal and they avoided forming a union that could have changed the course of NBA history. According to Carmelo Anthony, it was a moment that actually saved the Warriors and helped them extend their window by preserving their depth in the form of young players like Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga, and Trayce Jackson-Davis.
For years, the mere thought of trading LeBron James was an egregious offense, but the idea has become much more acceptable in recent weeks. As the Lakers have sunk lower and lower in the standings, the urgency for LeBron James to find a winning situation continues to grow.
