Since going 9/10 from 3 against the Nets…

Lebron has only taken 2 3s last 2 games…


he's coasting the past 2 games. Looks like he will go all out vs Cavs and Wolves.

You would think he's settle more for 3s if he is coasting... Less energy rather than driving to the basket, which his been doing a lot the last 2 games.

Is Lebron’s opt-in or opt-out decision before or after the draft?

I think after.

Bronny's only declared. His college eligibility is still intact. It depends on how he does in the predraft process. He may find he's not good enough. Keeping his college eligibility and entering the transfer portal, Bronny's leaving both doors open for his future. He may decide to stay in school and hone his skills. Rich Paul can organize individual team interviews and workouts behind closed doors. That would give the team of his choice the option to draft him. I'm sure the team will approach Bron letting him know their intentions. If playing with Bronny is a possibility he may opt out.

What this tells me is that either the Lakers are lukewarm about the extension, or LBJ is feeling old and isn't sure how much longer he wants to go.

So they are getting this over with next year.

If they blow the 55th pick as opposed to the 14th pick, then it won't be that damaging.

Let him have his farewell tour with his son and then we can start the rebuild.

What’s the point of entering the transfer portal? He didn’t like USC?

To transfer to another school in case no NBA team picks him up.

4 points. 3 rebounds. 36% shooting. The absolute only reason a team would draft him is for his dad. On merit? Hell no. At this point, he's miles away from G-league caliber.

USC’s head coach Andy Enfield just took another job. That could have something to do with it. But I think he wants to go to a smaller program where he can have a high usage rate and show his moves. He actually has some good moves and makes some nice passes, but the ball rarely comes back to him when he passes at USC.

My guess is he would have to rebuild his reputation at a much smaller school. Can't see a major program taking a chance on him. Unless the Lakers do Lebron a solid it will be hard to see an NBA team using a draft pick on him. Reading the feedback from the NBA scouts I think they were being overly nice about his ambitions to try not to get on the bad side of Lebron.

If Lakers could still sign him as undrafted FA when he didn't get selected, then why would he leave open the opportunity of going back to school? He doesn't want to become undrafted?

Lebron says he wants Bronny to become his own man so maybe he doesn't want to play with his son?

I think that's pretty standard practice to leave every options open... He will most likely sign with the Lakers if he goes undrafted.

I have a feeling Warriors might take a chance on him, and will give an excuse reason for Lebron to opt out and join the Warriors if those rumors were true.

All I know if he opts out...

- We lose him for nothing
- Only opens up about $13m in capspace
- Most likely over pay to keep DLO
- Who know what happens to AD?
- We're still stuck with Ham and Pelinka

Short term. Long term we get to start rebuilding. The sooner the better.

Started out hoping the team can carry him this one, but as usual they took on his lackadaisical energy. These turnovers are a product of mental fatigue. Still got it done in the end though.

Hoping he can summon one of those elite games on Sunday.

It’s crazy the expectations people want from him at age 39… But he still putting up consistent numbers. This is still what he brings to the team.

Can’t bring it every night because he’s old as dirt, but man…when he’s locked in…he’s still a terror on both ends.

It’s a shame he basically has to punt half the season in terms of effort just so he can have the legs to do what he did today. Getting old sucks….
