A trade rumor started by a local LA sports anchor has set the Internet on fire.
On Thursday night, KTLA 5 sports anchor David Pingalore claims he heard that the Lakers were looking to trade LeBron.
“Hearing from @nba peeps @KingJames is the top of the @Lakers list to trade the 39 year old. Pelinka is looking for the right team to dance with and is close to a suitor Lbj and AD both out tonight. @KTLA @KTLA5SPORTS”
Fans noticed that Pingalore had been right about his LeBron predictions in the past.
In 2012, Pingalore reported that LeBron was interested in rejoining the Cavs in 2014.
In 2018, Pingalore also predicted LeBron would join the Lakers.
Pingalore’s rumor comes days after LeBron posted a cryptic tweet on social media following the team’s back-to-back losses.
Fans were impressed by Pingalore’s past reporting, and he sent NBA Twitter into a frenzy with his latest rumor.
