Kevin Durant breaks his silence on LeBron James as he prepares to join the Lakers
Kevin Durant has finally broken his silence on LeBron James as rumors swirl about his potential move to the Los Angeles Lakers. In a recent interview, Durant expressed his admiration for LeBron’s enduring talent and leadership, highlighting the respect he has for James both on and off the court. Durant stated, “LeBron has set a high standard for all of us with his work ethic and dedication to the game. Joining the Lakers, a team with such a rich history and having LeBron as a teammate, is an exciting prospect.” As Durant prepares for this possible transition, fans eagerly anticipate the dynamic partnership and the impact it could have on the Lakers’ pursuit of another championship.
On Get Up, Windhorst addressed the idea floated by colleague Stephen A. Smith that the Lakers would’ve been the “perfect place” for Durant. Windhorst bluntly responded that there’s “not really” a path for the 14-time All-Star to wind up in L.A. He added that a swap involving Durant and Anthony Davis, which is basically the only formula that works financially, is a nonstarter.
