Really? Is that the takeaway? Because I have a hard time seeing more than 3 or 4 teams with a better shot at winning than we have and, if he was traded to them, would decimate their rosters. This is all just bluster and posturing on Rich Paul’s part and keeping it out there how competitive LeBron wants to be.
Fuck trades, Jamie. LeBron will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. He can sign with any team in the league next season for any amount he is willing to. It’s a good move by Bron.
If Rob does not do his job this summer, we could lose LeBron to Cleveland next summer. While that seems like a long shot, it’s more pressure on Rob Pelinka to build a championship team.
Oh that would be fine with me, no pressure beyond the normal Laker standard, then.
