The Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been in the headlines lately after the tweet he had of an hourglass emoji, it sparked the conversation of whether he is tired of coach Darvin Ham of the team as a whole and is looking to change things up.

The FS1 analyst from "First Things First," Nick Wright, who is known to be a LeBron supporter, believes the best way for the superstar to get another championship ring is to play in a better team, a contending one, and what better than a return to Miami for the King.

Nick Wright gave a bold trade proposal for the Lakers giving up LeBron James and getting Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson instead. "Every single one of those teams would be better positioned than the Lakers would to win a title."

The NBA analyst also suggested a trade to the NY Knicks and other teams. Herro has been one of Miami’s best scorers so far during the 2023-24 regular season. He is averaging a team-high 21.5 points per game while shooting 43.2 percent from the floor in 28 games played with the Heat. The guard is also contributing 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Why Miami could accept this trade

Like the Lakers, the Heat are amid one of their worst stretches of basketball of the season from a collective standpoint. Miami’s loss to the Suns marked its seventh defeat in a row, which is the longest losing streak in the NBA at the moment. The Heat’s losing streak could be in jeopardy of ballooning to eight games, considering Miami will face off against the Sacramento Kings at home on Wednesday night.
