Shaquille O’Neal Says The Lakers Will Never Win Again If They Trade LeBron James

Shaquille O’Neal, a basketball superstar, has cemented his place among the game’s all-time greats. He’s also a pro wrestling enthusiast who has competed in both WWE and AEW. Shaq had high expectations from The Lakers for this upcoming Playoffs, believing that this team will undoubtedly make the playoffs. Then things went wrong and Shaquille O’Neal just smacked the Lakers with a reality check on LeBron James.

The Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron James, are in danger of missing the playoffs this season. The squad has performed abysmally, and no one believes they are capable of making it all the way to the end. With that in mind, there are already numerous speculations circulating that the Lakers are considering trading LeBron, or LeBron himself is searching for a way to leave the organization as soon as possible.

Shaquille O’Neal recently spoke with CNBC about the Lakers’ troubles. Shaq issued a strong warning to the team over the possibility of dealing away their best player. Trading LeBron would be a major disaster, as Shaq pointed out, and would set the organization back years.

“If you trade LeBron, you’ll never win again. If you put LeBron around the right guys, they are definitely going to win. I think whoever put the team together needs to step up and try and fix it.”
