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

Windhorst If LeBron Doesnt Make Up His Mind Soon Hell Likely Be Out Of LA If LeBron isnt ready to make up his mind the consequence is increasing the chance of the Lakers moving on I think LeBron fully understands that

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 Lakers reached out to LeBron to LeBrons representative to Rich Paul and said Wed like to have LeBron back OK But there have been no further talks as of today when I got this update LeBron has not you know made himself available to meet with the Lakers yet

Windhorst It's been communicated to me that the number one thing for LeBron next season is happiness not money I have clearance to use this quote attributed to Rich Paul 'The Lakers are not and will not annoy us'

Windhorst The Los Angeles Lakers would be very open to the prospect of trading LeBron James for Jarrett Allen

Windhorst It wasn't that the league doesn't think Jaylen Brown is a great player or an excellent player is that the league doesn't value what he produces at his salary slot 57M And that is why he was traded and that is why he was traded for relatively so little
