Another wrench was thrown into this story June 24, when ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst made a bombshell claim during a segment on an ESPN Cleveland radio show. “The thought process in Los Angeles — and I think if the
Cavs were interested in this, the Lakers would sit up in attention right now — that they would sign and trade LeBron for Jarrett Allen,” Windhorst said, per an X post from ESPN Cleveland. “And I think if the Cavs were willing to do that, they could have LeBron. Obviously,
LeBron would have to want to sign with the Cavs. But if your pathway to paying LeBron the money is to trade Jarrett Allen for him, the Lakers would KILL for Jarrett Allen. KILL for him, all right? They would do that deal in 17-tenths of a second.”
