Lack of assets and gaps between LeBron and management: The Lakers are in trouble

A trade on the boy and Turner came up as an alternative in case Irving did not come, but the team really has nothing to offer in return and a factor "expressed pessimism"

After earlier this week it was reported in the United States that the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are in talks about the possibility of embroidering a trade in which Kyrie Irving will move for Russell Westbrook, today (Saturday) reporter Mark Stein raised the alternative considering the City of Angels: sending Westbrook to Indiana to get back Buddy the Boy and Miles Turner.

However, there is one problem that makes it very difficult for the Lakers to execute a trade.

"One of the sources I spoke to expressed pessimism that the Lakers may not have good enough assets to offer to get both the kid and Turner. The two were marked as primary targets if Los Angeles could not find an outline that Brooklyn would be willing to accept in a deal for Irving," the rep explained.

But this may not be the only problem of the purple-golds.

In the NBA podcast of the "Athletic" yesterday, Joan Boha explained that there is a gap between the reinforcement goals marked by the management and the desires of LeBron James, who is known to be the one who pulls the strings behind the scenes.

"I think there is a slight gap, LeBron wants Kyrie Irving and some of the people at the club may prefer a deal from Miles Turner and Buddy the Boy," the reporter claimed.
