"LOS ANGELES -- LeBron James says he accomplished his goal of "restoring excellence" to the Los Angeles Lakers organization by winning a championship in his tenure with the team and "doesn't care" what anyone -- including Lakers team governor Jeanie Buss -- feels about him at this stage of his life. James made the comments Thursday following a 112-104 loss to the LA Clippers when he was asked about a story"
"The story detailed discord bubbling between Buss and James going all the way back to when he arrived as a free agent in 2018, for how the four-time MVP was "considered a savior for a floundering franchise," rather than Buss and the Lakers being lauded for landing him in L.A. A significant point of tension detailed in the story was the fallout from the failed Russell Westbrook trade,"
LeBron James said he accomplished his goal of restoring excellence to the Los Angeles Lakers by winning a championship during his tenure and said he does not care what anyone, including Jeanie Buss, thinks of him at this stage. The comments followed a 112-104 loss to the LA Clippers and were prompted by questions about reporting on Buss family dynamics. Reporting described long-standing discord between Buss and James dating to his 2018 arrival and framed James as a savior rather than the organization. The reporting cited the failed Russell Westbrook trade as a major point of tension and noted Buss’s private frustration and consideration of roster and contract moves.
