Bill Simmons Proposes Wild LeBron James For Kawhi Leonard Trade Swap Idea 




Bill Simmons has weighed in on the LeBron James trade rumors, proposing a wild swap with Kawhi Leonard. Simmons’ mock trade was based on an ideal return for the LA Lakers superstar, who will make $52.6 million on an expiring deal next season. Leonard, who represents crosstown rivals and is under contract for two more years, will earn $50.0 million in 2025-26.

Simmons considers it an “interesting” idea, but thinks the Lakers might say no to that. Here’s what he shared during Wednesday’s episode of his show, “The Bill Simmons Podcast”:

“They both get to stay in LA. Little change of scenery for each. If you’re the Lakers, you get out of this weird LeBron situation. I don’t know if it changes your destiny that much, but at least it resets whose team it is. I think the Lakers say no, but that was an interesting one, too.”
