However, James didn’t stay silent and responded to a social media post referring to people who believe the four-time NBA champion “doesn’t wanna win anymore.”

The Lakers are continuing their search for a new head coach after Dan Hurley turned down a reported six-year, $70 million offer to remain the head coach of UConn and chase a third straight NBA championship.

The presence of James plays a big factor in the Lakers’ decision for a new head coach. While the 39-year-old is hoping to contend for a title next season, he doesn’t have much time left in his legendary career.

The franchise has to build for the future, but it also needs someone capable of winning right away to maximize James’ window. Los Angeles is facing a crucial offseason that could determine the direction of the team for years to come.
