King James will not leave the Lakers, Bucks sign for Antetokounmpo and attract strong aid

On July 14, LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, firmly consolidated his position in the team with his veto power of team trade. Despite constant rumors about transfers from outside, James's agent made it clear that he had not made any trade requests and had never discussed future transfer possibilities with Lakers' senior executives. At the same time, the Milwaukee Bucks completed the ninth signing after lineup adjustment and strategic deployment, which not only enhanced the team's strength, but also greatly improved the players' morale and laid a solid foundation for the new season.

Today, the team reporter revealed James' latest trends during a live report in the Las Vegas Summer League: his agent Ritchie Paul revealed to reporters that although four teams showed interest in James' transfer, Paul emphasized that James himself has not applied for a deal and has never discussed any plans for future transfers with the Lakers. According to previous news, the Lakers may end their cooperation with James in 2026 and will not provide him with a new contract after next season.

If the Lakers hope to continue to compete for the championship in the future, James may consider leaving the team. However, this complicated James' decision as his son Brownie is also on the team. Without family concerns, James might be willing to put pressure on a transfer, but once he leaves, will Brownie's future be guaranteed? His career may be affected as a result. The possibility of a father and son transferring at the same time is low. After all, Brownie's market value has not reached a level that matches his father, and may even exceed his actual value.

Recently, news about the relationship between James and Doncic has been frequently circulated, and the media seems to be trying to provoke conflicts between the two. However, James has made it clear that he understands Doncic's leadership in the team and highly praised the Lakers' promotion of Doncic. He believes that Doncic has great potential, and he personally appreciates Doncic's ability very much. Today, Doncic's agent also publicly stated that Doncic's cooperation with James was very pleasant and was able to play with James. Doncic learned a lot from him and was full of respect for James. Both of them understand that only by unity can they win the championship. The relationship between players is usually harmonious, and inappropriate remarks from the media and management are prone to misunderstandings and disputes.

In another news, ESPN reporter Shams reported that Cole Anthony completed a contract buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies and is expected to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks after completing the clarification period within 48 hours. Cole Anthony was traded from the Orlando Magic to the Grizzlies for a deal involving Desmond Bain, but the Grizzlies had no intention of leaving the 25-year-old. The Grizzlies finally decided to buy out his contract and make him a free agent because they failed to find a team willing to take over his $13.1 million contract.

With the joining of Cole Anthony, the Milwaukee Bucks will receive their ninth signing. Looking back on the eight previous signings, the Bucks' operations are efficient and smart: they first signed a three-year $12 million contract with scorer Rollins; then the team signed a two-year contract with center Himes; then they stayed with Gary Harris with the same two-year contract; the fourth signing, they signed Miles Turner for 4 years and $107 million; the fifth signing, they provided Prince with a $7.1 million contract extension; the sixth signing was $7.5 million contract extension; the seventh signing, they renewed Kevin Porter Jr. for $11 million; and finally, they re-signed Portis with a $44 million contract. These budget-conscious signings not only strengthen the Bucks, but also allow them to stand out and perform well in the free market this summer. There is no doubt that the Bucks general manager Horst was particularly active this summer, while the Bucks also showed interest in Suns buyout Bradley Bill. In addition, famous reporter Stein also revealed that if Antetokounmpo chooses to stay in the team, the Bucks may sign his younger brother Sanassis Antetokounmpo. It seems that the Bucks' tenth signing will be implemented soon.
