There's two parts to it, right?

I think in terms of the basketball, I think Luka's one of these guys that other players respect, and LeBron has this real appreciation for.

Remember, LeBron, when he was thinking about building out his own line of the shoe company, Luka was someone he targeted.

So I think understanding that Luka's better than AD, everyone knew that.

I do think, though, that, and we're seeing him deal with this, the idea of no longer having the power control, I think that's something, and we're seeing him sort of deal with that now, like with his...

picks up the contract and the weird statement about, I want to join a team that's winning, but then he's pretending, he's saying he's all happy and just sort of the wavering we're seeing.

So I think that would be sort of all connected to the losing control there.

Where is the relationship now?

Between LeBron and the Lakers?

Yes.

I would say, I don't think.

So backing up, I think one interesting thing from the beginning is that when he first came, I think Jeannie Buss thought this was going to be like her version of Jerry Buss and Magic, right?

And even she had the relationship with Kobe.

And it was never that, even from the beginning.

Just LeBron was cut differently, just didn't work.

And again, the Westbrook trade really broke things.

We can talk about that if we want after.

Where it's right now, I mean, I think you saw during Media Day or whatever, Rob Palenka was asked about like, I forget the exact phrasing, but would you give LeBron another contract?

And his answer was along the lines of, you know, I think he said, we'd love to see LeBron finish his story here, which is really a non-answer.

And I keep joking like parentheses and we hope that story ends now, right after this year.
