It doesn’t take much to set fans’ minds in motion these days when it comes to trade rumors. Though after the Lakers’ legendary coup in landing Luka Doncic you can hardly blame them.
The latest trade rumor involves Los Angeles Lakers megastar LeBron James himself.
LeBron took to Instagram yesterday and shared some photos of his offseason training regiment. He did weight-lifting, shootarounds and other exercises in preparation for his 23rd NBA season.
“Say whatever you want but you damn sure won’t be able to say I didn’t put in the WORK!! 👑 . We’ll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man F this Shhhhhh,” he wrote.
But fans noticed something very worrying about the photos. You might be able to notice it yourself:
That’s right, LeBron James was working out in a Los Angeles Clippers facility. Oh the horror!
Fans quickly became very worried that LeBron was traded to the Clippers without hearing about it.
“I thought you got traded to the Clippers don’t scare me like that bron,” one user replied in the comments.
“Bro wants to be a clipper….” another fan wrote.
“Why we in the clippers gym?” asked a third.
“He knows damn well what he’s doing posting that first pic in front of the Clippers signage.”
“Lebron to the Clippers confirmed?”
As fun as it might be to see LeBron James changes teams yet again before he finally retires, it’s probably not wise to read too much into it.
NBA insider Nick DePaula pointed out that it’s an old Clippers facility that is now used by Klutch Sports for clients to train at. It only has Clippers logos on it because the organization hasn’t had time to replace them yet.
“This is the old Clippers practice facility. Klutch now utilizes it for clients to train at, but hasn’t switched out logos yet.”
