"He's out," a Western Conference scout says.

"Foregone conclusion," one Eastern Conference general manager said.

James has been most strongly linked to the Los Angeles Lakers. The top three reasons why James would want to join the Lakers are to further cement his post-playing career in TV and film production, leading three different franchises to a title and to create a potential path to an ownership stake with the Lakers.

James has relinquished his goal of matching Michael Jordan's six championship rings, according to a source.

"That was once his obsession," the source said. "But even if LeBron thinks he has five good years left, he's not thinking he's going to beat Golden State four out of the next five years. I don't think he's making it about that anymore. When he said, 'I don't have anything left to prove' during the Finals, that's where that came from."

As spot-up shooter: -1.19 PPP -90.4 percentile -No. 19 among guys w/ >150 attempts -Ranked higher than Beal, Klay & Ryan Anderson

Among guys w/>200 FGA between 25' and 29' away, ranked No. 1 overall at 43.2%.

Absolutely deadly coming off screens: -1.34 PPP -97.2 percentile-No. 1 among players w/ > 100 attempts off screens

As a scorer in PnR: -1.01 PPP -92 percentile -No. 4 among guys w/> 500 looks -Behind only Isaiah Thomas, Harden & Dame

In isolation: -1.00 PPP -82.6 percentile -No. 12 among guys w/>125 isos -Ahead of 'Melo & Russ

In the Mid range- Ranked 10th in FG% among guards with >200 attempts

From w/in 5-ft of basket: -59.8% accuracy -No. 11 among guards w/>225 attempts -Finished above Wall & Kyrie

Those look like the numbers of an elite player. Yet will still get disrespected, ranked in the 30's, and called "a pure point guard" . And yes, this is a Mike Conley appreciation post. The most complete PG in the league.

He's cool and all but there's a reason he's not a perennial all-star or going on deep playoff runs. :yeshrug:
