So really what this is is a player being in a position right now where with one year left on that deal, if he says, I'm not extending with you and I'm going to eventually opt out of that player option, that's what puts the Lakers in an interesting position with him. That's not something anybody anticipates, but I can see why. It's the Jimmy spot. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

It's the Jimmy spot. Coupled with LeBron and am I going to retire?

Well, this is a really interesting transition because... After last night's game between the Nuggets and the Clippers, as much as I wanted to be excited about game seven, which I am, because that's just going to be what an incredible first round basketball game. But I started immediately thinking about this offseason. And obviously, I'm in that position because my team is already in the offseason.

But I think this offseason has an opportunity to be one of the craziest in terms of superstar movement in a very long time.

Here's what's interesting, right? Because we knew going into the playoffs, KD, right, who's already out. KD, someone who's almost definitely going to be on the move. Not a superstar anymore, though. I would disagree. He's still top five in the league in scoring. He's Kevin Durant, and he's still an efficient, top-level scorer in the league.

Reportedly, Phoenix is going to work with him on a move, which is why it seems inevitable. Right, so that's where you start. Then there's the questions of Zion Williamson, a guy who didn't make the playoffs, a franchise that's in a bit of disarray. Could someone like Zion be available?

Wow, that's one of the worst takes you've ever had. Where is Chris Middleton these days, by the way? Good Lord. He's rotting away in Washington, poor guy.

Classic. It would have been better for the Knicks to lose to the Pistons so they could trade everybody for Giannis. Really bad decision winning that game. All right, so Giannis, Zion, KD. Now we have a conversation about LeBron James, right? Brian Winhorst sort of insinuating yesterday that, well, the Lakers aren't really LeBron's team anymore. right? Luka Doncic is the guy they just traded for.

They're into this new transition. Izzy's mentioning it here himself, that is this LeBron's Lakers team? Could he decide he wants to be elsewhere?

You look at the Celtics, there are reports coming out about the Celtics that they're, not necessarily Jalen Brown, but that they're going to need to move on contractually from guys like Porzingis and Drew Holiday, who are not superstars, but are supplementary pieces to championship teams. And now, I've just named Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson, Giannis Antetokounmpo,
