I'm now of the opinion that the LeBron Luca thing is probably going to be awesome because partly because, and I'm talking on the court, but also just, I mean, my goodness, you can't ask for a better fit with Luca and all the conditioning and health concerns.

And also LeBron and his family love living in LA so much that, I think if he got sideways in this situation and it turned sour when it comes to his part in Laker land, then he might end up having to retire somewhere else. And I think that that is enough to make him say, you know what? I'm reading the room. Let's go. I'm going to be the Luca whisperer and try to make the most of this. I love it.

They're already a championship contender. I think this solidifies that in my book. How do you feel about that move? How did they pull that off?
