Skip Bayless has always offered some interesting commentary as it pertains to LeBron James. Overall, Bayless is seen as the biggest hater there is when it comes to LeBron. Regardless of what James does out on the court, Bayless never gives him his flowers. Even as LeBron looks to break the scoring record, Bayless is still finding ways to discredit him. Additionally, he has been all over James for his public comments regarding the Kyrie Irving situation. As many of you know, Kyrie Irving was traded this weekend, but not to the Lakers.
Subsequently, LeBron went on ESPN and gave a very interesting interview about the Irving situation. “Well definitely disappointed,” James started. “I can’t sit here and say I’m not disappointed on not being able to land such a talent but someone I had great chemistry with that can help you win championships. But my focus has shifted back to where it should be and that’s this club now.” Many were critical of LeBron for giving this interview, as they felt like James was throwing Russell Westbrook under the bus. However, Skip Bayless actually took a different approach.
Skip Bayless Reacts
In the clip above, Skip hits LeBron with a suggestion that isn't exactly helpful right now. Overall, it was one of those hindsight pieces of advice that are useless for LeBron as the Kyrie deal has already been done. That said, Bayless claims James should have asked the Lakers to trade him to the Nets for Kyrie in a one-for-one deal. Consequently, James would have the ability to go out and win a title with none other than Kevin Durant. Whether or not the Lakers would have ever made this trade, will never be known.
Moving forward, there is this sense that the Lakers could still get Kyrie in free agency. However, there is no real guarantee of that happening. If Kyrie and Luka Doncic work out this year, then he could decide to return to Dallas. As for Skip Bayless, he will be watching intently. Let us know what you think of Skip's take, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
