3.5 chips over 23 years? We can do the math 
This gotta be his farewell tour, no?
Nah he’ll announce that in the summer before it starts to ensure maximum attention and jersey swaps
This was ALWAYS a throwaway year once the Mark Williams trade was rescinded
He was always gonna come back once the Lakers have a full offseason
But here’s something yall don’t seem to understand
If LeBron were to retire right now… the Lakers only open up $13 million in cap space. THATS IT.
Who are they picking up to be the 2nd option for $13 million!? lol. The Lakers best bet is to have Lebron take a $20 mil dollar haircut to open up the mid level exception and have trade chips on Vando, Rui, Reaves
Lebron has already stated last year he was willing to take a big paycut for Harden/Klay/Jonas

He offered it last year but Rob struck out. Literally offered it for Klay/Harden/JonasBron rather see the Lakers go 0-82 than give up $20 million foh
I suspect the Jonas was more of a nod to AD since he’s been asking for C help forever
Just saw it’s actually closer to $15 mil paycut

this was basically a new team one more real try then a farewell tour is my prediction
Needs to give up some $$$ for the roster to compete
Otherwise
5-6th seed
Out in the first round again

He should gracefully bow out. He's had a legendary career. He got nothing left to prove and win lose or draw. He's not moving up the list, he can drop though.
