Bueckers appeared to have fallen off the bandwagon after James left for the Los Angeles Lakers. She hasn’t tweeted in regards to the Cavs since then so we don’t have her takes on the Collin Sexton wars or whether or not the two-big lineup can work within the playoffs.
Bueckers will probably be coming to Cleveland subsequent weekend for the Final Four. She is trying to win her first NCAA championship and will probably be taking up Kaitlyn Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes on Friday night time.
