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

Bill Simmons I heard this too during the weekend Could the Clippers with the 5th pick move in to the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade and be the 3rd team And then the second piece of this Would they then send Kawhi to Miami as a consolation prize for additional assets
