Chapter 2: What are the latest rumors about LeBron James' future?
He's played forever. You know who's also not better than LeBron James that nobody thinks should get a good contract but not a great one? He shouldn't put the Lakers to the limit. Austin Reeves. And if I'm LeBron... I would not blame LeBron if there's a little bit of him that's like, wait a minute. You need me to take 10 million bucks because you need to have 45 for Austin, who I'm better than?
And so... It is just really... It's a unique situation where you were maybe going to be able to make the case because of his new role with Luka and Austin at the end of the year that, okay, yeah, LeBron no longer can carry the load of being the guy. And then they were gone in the playoffs and he's facing a minus 800 favorite in round one.
and makes quick work of them, and is the best player on the court night in, night out. And obviously, listen, Lakers got swept by OKC. I think every team in the league, if they played OKC without their best player, because Luka is the Lakers' best player, would get swept by OKC. But it is... I find the conversation surrounding LeBron's contract to be frustrating. So there's my LeBron take.
Now, Demondze, let's get to the mailbag.
Uh, so NBA starting off with, we got witnesses ask or witness asks Nick as a fellow LeBron fan myself, I frequently get asked where my rooting interest goes post LeBron. And I normally say across that bridge when it comes. So what say you, is it Luca, a different player, a team or what?
Uh, so I have, for me, I always assumed it was going to be Luca. Like, cause I love Luca. Luca has been my second favorite player for a while. But I also am kind of excited to not be attached fandom-wise to the Lakers post LeBron. Now, ownership has changed, and maybe the front office will change, and maybe those things will change. I'm over to the rivals, man.
Be a Celtics fan.
Celtics fans don't want me. Uh, you know, so the, and so then I also thought I was like, you know what? Cause I have thought about this. It's like, I live in New York city now. My wife loves the Knicks. Cause be a Knicks fan. But I can't do that.

Chapter 3: What does LeBron want from the Lakers regarding his contract?
I can't do that if they win the championship. You know what I mean?
By the time LeBron leaves, maybe they're one, two years removed from it.
Possibly.
If he went to the Knicks, would you be a Knicks fan? After that.
If he went to the Knicks, yeah, that'd be perfect. But he can't go to the Knicks now. They're rolling. They're going to win the championship. No, I'm saying I just don't think he would join a team where he would get no credit whatsoever. As much as I love LeBron, If I were a Knicks fan, I'd be like, no, no, no, we're good. If they win the title. You know what I mean?
If they win the title, you don't want to change anything. They just had the greatest month of basketball in the history of the league. You don't want to change anything. I've come up with an answer. I just realized it. This is my answer. I will be teamless. I will be a stateless fan post-LeBron until... Las Vegas gets a team. That'll be my squad. I'm there a lot. I love it. That'll be my squad.
I'll get to, you know, be on the ground floor.
From birth, yeah.
Yeah. I've decided. Kansas City's never getting a team. I'm going to be a Las Vegas fan. That's my answer. I think that's good, right? That feels good.

Chapter 4: How could LeBron's contract impact the Lakers' roster decisions?
They might have just advanced to the finals. They also might have just, you know, be facing a game seven. And then I believe they're going to have a dogfight on their hands in the NBA finals. And it's the same ownership group that was too cheap to keep KD, Harden, and Russ together. So it's just never quite as easy as people think it's going to be.
