LeBron James does not want to be involved in coaching search

In a recent conversation with Shaquille O’Neal on The Big Podcast, Green revealed his desire to play alongside James, citing the opportunity to witness James’ basketball IQ in action on a day-to-day basis. “I would love to play with Bron,” Green expressed, emphasizing his admiration for James’ basketball intellect and the chance to observe his decision-making process on and off the court. -via TalkBasket / May 23, 2024

While Green missed the opportunity to join James on Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics, he remains hopeful for future opportunities to collaborate with the Lakers superstar. “I thought I had the opportunity this summer to check that off the box. It didn’t happen for me, but I would love to play with Bron,” Green explained. “Not necessarily I want to be on this NBA team, but I would have loved the opportunity to play together because I want to see how his mind works on a day-to-day basis in the basketball setting.” -via TalkBasket / May 23, 2024

“Yeah, I think he’s figuring it out. I wanted him to kind of figure it out on his own, where he sees himself fit in the NBA, or where he sees what his comp looks like. To see him mention guys like Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, a few other guys, Marcus Smart, in our league, Davion Mitchell, these are guys who like come in and for a team that is trying to win championships, a team that wants to win every night, these are the players that you have to have on your team. It doesn’t always show up in the box scores, but it always shows up in the winning plays. And for Bronny to have that perspective on where he stands today, that’s great. I think that’s great for any team to be able to have a 19-year-old kid, like you said, I know that wasn’t my goal.  -via Lakers Nation / May 23, 2024
