Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together

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

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
