LeBron James's 'tantrum' that almost led to his transfer to the Warriors
According to ESPN, 'The King' was upset with the Lakers for not offering him a contract extension this summer and threatened to go to GSW.
The offseason is not being easy for the Los Angeles Lakers. The team has been facing issues with LeBron James since the player accepted his $52 million player option before the 2025 NBA Free Agency.
LeBron's hefty salary for the upcoming season left the Lakers with minimal room to sign new players. Moreover, it has now been revealed by ESPN's NBA Rumors that LeBron himself was the most upset.
Taking advantage of when the Golden State Warriors tried to negotiate his trade in the past, and knowing the rivalry between the two teams, LeBron apparently got "angry" and threatened to go to the Bay Area as a free agent, as the franchise was once again interested in his arrival.
The reason for his anger was that the Lakers refused to offer LeBron James an extension "at his level." The team wanted the player to significantly reduce his salary in order to sign far more than what they ended up with (DeAndre Ayton and Jake LaRavia).
