LeBron James opted-in on his 1-year player option with the Los Angeles Lakers for $52.6M and Dan is convinced this is the last hurrah for King James. Maybe he plays for somebody else after this last season with the Lakers, but they clearly need to pivot toward the future and start building around Luka Dončić.
Dan Patrick: “This is all about Luka Dončić. This is his team now, it’s official. LeBron, hey, got some nice parting gifts. I hope you enjoy a farewell tour. You and Aaron Rodgers can have farewell tours. You can play one more season with your son here. But this is about the Lakers not wanting to do something drastic just for now. This is about building the future.”
