Jeff Van Gundy is apparently ready to cut bait on the LeBron James–Lakers experiment already.
The ESPN broadcaster and former coach posited the idea of trading James this offseason during Saturday’s game between the Lakers and Boston Celtics (transcript via Jack Baer of Yahoo Sports):
Van Gundy: I think in the offseason, they need to rebuild this roster, right? And to me, it could be a trade for an Anthony Davis, or I think they need to explore trading LeBron for getting as much as they can.
Analyst Mark Jackson: What are you doing, seriously? No, seriously, what are you doing?
Van Gundy: You’ve got to get on the right timeline. I’m going to say, if I could trade him for the Clippers into cap space, which would give me a better chance to get Durant or Kawhi Leonard, would I not do that?
Jackson: OK, LeBron James is not getting traded. OK?
Van Gundy: You’ve got to put everything on the table.
Jackson: No, you can’t.
