Is there even a world where LeBron James gets traded? I can see Jimmy Butler getting traded, but is there any scenario where LeBron James is traded anywhere in the NBA? CARMELO ANTHONY: LeBron makes the trades. If he wants to get traded, he’ll make it happen. I think that window has closed. Maybe there was a point in time, like last year or earlier, where it seemed like it could have been a possibility. People might have thought, “Could this actually happen? Are we interested? Could we pull this off?” But now? It’s hard to imagine. The Kuminga part of that trade is a big headline because he’s a major piece.
