LeBron Leaving Lakers?!? + Kawhi To Raptors?!?

Uh, guys, we, we've got some news.

We've got some stuff potentially happening, and we're gonna start with Mr. LeBron James.

Uh, Brian Windhorst reporting that they have reached out.

The team has actually reached out to LeBron.

They want him back, uh, but he has not yet made himself available to meet.

Uh, free agency officially-

Hmm

... starts tomorrow, 3:00 PM Pacific, and he is widely considered, um, the best available unrestrict- restricted free agent this off-season.

All right, Chandler, Lew, like, uh, are we gonna actually see him leave? 'Cause now that I'm looking at all these different sources and whatnot, there's a lot of smoke here, dude.

I, I gotta be honest, I never really imagined him leaving.

I think Austin Reaves was kind of the first big step, the first piece to go, and they obviously handled him, giving him his big, you know, much deserved deal.

They still have a lot of other decisions with Luke Kennard, with Rui Hachimura.

Like w- there's still another piece, you know, a couple other pieces to go.

But LeBron James is still extremely valuable.

It's crazy that he is still probably the hottest free agent right now at 41 years old, just everything he's been through, uh, at his age, but h- he is.

And, and I think he's does still hold the, the, the power and the chips.

And I think one thing about LeBron and his entire career, if something gets out, i- it's because he wants it out, and if something doesn't-

Hmm

... it's because he does not want it out.

He's been very good at that his entire career.

His team, Rich Paul, Mav Carter, they've always been fantastic at that.

So there's a reason we haven't heard anything.

It's because they don't want us to hear anything yet, and they're probably, you know, getting all their ducks in a row.

But I, I'd like to think he comes back to LA.

I'd like to see that team whole with Luka, with Austin Reaves.
