Former Los Angeles Lakers champion and head coach, Byron Scott, believes the team needs to move on from LeBron James to be a championship team.
On his podcast, Byron Scott’s Fast Break , he urged the Lakers to move on from the 41-year-old this summer if they want to truly compete for a title moving forward. “You getting paid 50 million. You’re 41, 42, 43 years old, right?
You got a three-headed monster like you’re talking about. The Lakers if you want to move on and be a championship team for the next five, six, seven years, you got to build around Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves," Scott said. "You can’t do that if he’s still here.
He’s 50 million. That comes off the cap. You can go get two really good basketball players.
