Championship windows don’t stay open forever, the lakers’ have closed …it just is what it is (I think Golden State realizes this and has come to peace with it)….Bron and AD aren’t a good enough duo at this moment to have $90mil of the cap tied up between and construct a legit title contender with the scraps…this is usually the point where LeBron realizes all the championship resources have been depleted, quits and jumps to another team in better shape…but at 40 he’s not as impactful and makes too much money for that to plausible….asking the lakers to trade whatever picks they have left at this point for some ultimately worthless performative move is just pressuring them to dig themselves a bigger hole to get out of once Bron retires
Bron got his photo op with Bronny…Just pad your cumulative numbers, play out your contract, announce your goodbye tour and retire gracefully Kang
