It is no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers would like to add LeBron James to their fold in next summer’s free agency, but many are still in doubt that there’s a big chance he’ll sign with the purple and gold. However, for the team’s former head coach, he gave very good odds on how much he thinks the likelihood of The King playing for the Lakers will happen.
When asked about the Lakers landing James, Byron Scott shared, via TMZ Sports, that he believes they have a 50/50 chance of doing so. He then added that he prefers to see Paul George play alongside him and that Lonzo Ball will definitely become better with them around.
While there’s still a long way to go before free agency starts, the chatter about James’ future will most likely continue to be the topic of debate for a lot of basketball fans. The Lakers may have a strong chance of landing him, but there are a number of teams also expected to make their pitch and could leave a lasting impression on him, which could make him opt to play for another franchise instead.
