Wen Pang: Doncic is the core of the Lakers now. I think James still hopes to stay in the Lakers

Recently, famous reporter Windhorst answered some netizens' questions on his social media.

A netizen asked what happened to James with the Lakers, and Windhorst wrote: "The past year has changed a lot for James. A year ago, the Lakers were providing him with a multi-year contract with a player option, and also selected Brownie and gave a long-term guarantee contract. James was even willing to take the initiative to cut his salary so that the team can introduce free agents."

"But now, Doncic has become the core of the team. This transformation shocked and stressed everyone, and they are all working to adapt to this new reality. And the process of all this is being staged in real time and is also presented to the public to some extent. Ultimately, I think James still wants to stay with the Lakers."
