    As long as we’re having fun guyz.

    my money is on 2 yr Bron extension in the off-season.

    how much depends on how he finishes the year, but hopefully like 2yr / 40m

    this would be the dream scenario of LeBron, finishing his career with us

    I think LeBron is either retiring after the playoffs, or heading back to Cleveland to retire. If he gets hurt again, I think he'll call it quits for sure.

    No way he retires without blessing us with a going away tour

    50-50 He might see Cleveland as the better final shot at a chip. Rich Paul has already told the world, that he doesn't think Rob knows wtf he's doing.

    That will probably require an even bigger paycut. Time will tell.

    He's a billionaire, I don't think the money matters, it's the principle, not getting his plus 1, gives him a perfect out. He can say that he didn't feel respected enough, and might as well finish his career where he started it.

    another DFS deal would be rearranging furniture, imo.

    He won't be here this summer (especially if he sits on his hands and waits till then).

    He will be here, and if you think he's gone just 1 year after the Luka trade, I have a bridge to sell you.

    Now, next summer in 2027 if he fails, that might be a different story.

    People with as much money as Walters don’t give a crap about paying contracts for people to go away. Jeanie can go plant trees with Laker Christmas lights if she still wants to be involved.

    he also didn't spend all that money to buy the team just to keep jeanie involved in day to day operations. any role she has on the team going forward is going to be symbolic

    This. Rob has no vision, no clear basketball philosophy, it’s why we’ve so often have rosters that make little sense.

    Bad rosters are mostly LeBron's thing. Russ and constantly signing guys for 1/2 years is Bron's MO for the last 2 decades
