Brian Windhorst on the Lakers making moves before the trade deadline They should really try to get something done because at some point I gotta believe that patience is going to end but LeBron has never given this kind of slack to the Heat or Cavs but the Lakers get the slack

Windhorst Hes only worth 30M instead of 50M youre not getting that from LeBron James LeBron James doesnt believe in that and I dont expect him to accept that If youre the Lakers and if you force LeBron to leave hell go somewhere else and play for less money

Brian Windhorst on Luka He is not close There is a whole ramp up thats required when you are coming back from a hamstring He has not started that contact ramp up yet

Charania The Lakers have made it clear that they want him back but the one thing I do know is that multiple contenders are already circling If LeBron is really going to hit the open market and decide and have a true free agency he's not going to have a shortage of teams

Charania Minnesota Lakers Celtics Heat Knicks those are the teams that had interest in Giannis at the deadline You think about teams like Miami and Minnesota those were more back and forth engagement conversations Then you had teams like CLE LAL BOS NYK that just checked in

The Lakers and Thunder trade blows down the stretch of the fourth quarter

Fischer Last Tuesday I said that there were many people around the league who thought that LeBron should take a veteran minimum salary It does not sound like that is actually in the cards at all I wanna be very very clear about that after some text messages and phone calls I received
