What player worth a damn is gonna sign here if they have other options? You have Rich Paul saying they'll tell the Lakers what to do; LeBron "leaking" a fantasy list of players he'll take less for; they hired LeBron's podcast buddy as the coach; they drafted his son when nobody else in the league wanted him AND gave him a four year GUARANTEED contract AND had the audacity to say he earned it.
That doesn't even include that when the trade deadline comes around, LeBron/Klutch/Shams will start the grumblings about putting everybody besides his son on the block plus every pick to improve the team while leaking targets like Ja Morant, Donovan Mitchell, Tyrese Haliburton or some other ridiculous pipe dream. Not to mention, LeBron has a player option so he'll do this same song and dance again next year.
