The Clippers would not agree to the Lakers trading James for Harden.

Because James is older than Harden and Harden can still play for a few more years, NBA salary expert Swartz put forward a bold trade proposal, believing that the Lakers and 76ers can make a deal. Send Harden to the Lakers. The Lakers will send Russell, Rui Hachimura, Christie and the first-round pick of the top five picks in 2029 to get Harden.

Although the Lakers defenders have Russell, Vincent, Reeves and other players, in key games, James is still needed to control the game, especially when Russell is dealing with high-intensity situations. Somewhat difficult.

As James is about to turn 39, he needs to not only control the ball but also provide points in the playoffs. This makes James often feel powerless in the critical fourth quarter. Harden's arrival will completely liberate James, allowing him to focus more on rhythm and decision-making, and put more energy into accumulating strength for the playoffs.

James' technical characteristics:

James' defensive awareness is also quite good. In games, he can often be seen flying from behind to block shots, or dunk on fast breaks after stealing the ball, or even After grabbing defensive rebounds, he can quickly break through and score points. The defender's speed allows him to quickly switch between offense and defense. He also has very good ball control skills and full court vision.

He often plays the role of point guard. In this position, he has a great size advantage. His offense can often attract double-team defense from two to three opponents, and he has a selfless attitude. Shares ball awareness and good passing skills, allowing teammates to get many open shots.

Due to his poor performance in the 2011 season finals, James suffered a lot of ridicule, criticism and abuse from the public. LBJ's low post skills in the finals were even questioned by the outside world. So Xia Tian learned low-post footwork skills from Hakeem Olajuwon.

James has also developed low-post offensive skills, especially back-up skills, which makes his offensive skills more comprehensive. When the shooting rate is poor, getting to the basket to cause damage has become another of James's strengths. Killer weapon.
