Not ‘smart business’ for teams to gut their roster for 40-year-old LeBron

This is the un-fun, non-clickbait reality of the situation.
LeBron knows he’s not leaving…it would have been much easier if he just opted-out and became a free agent. Any contender he would want to join now isn’t gonna be a contender anymore once they sent out $50mill in a trade to get him.Do the Lakers want KAT in return? Would NYC make that deal to get LBJ for 1 or 2 years?
