Do we really need those kind of headlines? Journalists nowadays only seem to care about clicks... |

Be hilarious if he opted out and we just quietly moved on.
Like ok... bye, thanks! |

Yea I dont think that is remotely possible...
Even if he opts with the intention to resign... I bet those few days before he resigns. This board will go ape s**t. |

0.00000000000001% chance he opts out.
Blessing and a curse being the Lakers lol. He is using them as much as Jeanie is using him. |

Not click bait, but a serious look at what LeBron's options are with his contract. And I do actually think he opts out but re-signs with LA. TBD though. _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

Should everyone but Christie return, the Lakers would be just under the second apron...
Hmm, I don't like that sentence at all. The Lakers are dumb AF if they let Max go. Should be a solidified rotational piece already if not for using the year messing around with a Reddish experiment. |

What's the hard cap if we use tax payer MLE?
I believe DLO new deal will start in the 22M range, Christie will be kept around 4M range, and we will keep our first this year. Prince probably walks unless on VM deal _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.'

A lot of LeBron and his decisions will likely be tied on how well the Lakers perform in the playoffs, yeah considering he’s getting up there in age he probably does sign a extension with the Lakers even if we lose to the Nuggets but if he wants to squeeze out another championship before he’s done playing maybe that team is NY or the Warriors |

Thanks Eric, always enjoy your work.
Personally I would love to see a rebuild. I'm just not connected to this team. |

It's a love/hate thing with LeBron - the fandom, the team leadership, etc. - he isn't what he was, but without him, the team is probably worse. With him, they're on national TV the max #, an always-relevant team, selling out the arena etc.
Without him they're who knows?
So I think in the calculus, they go with what they know instead of the unknown _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

I don’t think LeBron is going anywhere even if we lose in the 1st round but it does make things interesting in the off season |

I don't know if its doable, but I want whichever team that signs Bronny (which means they want bron) do a sign and trade with us if Klutch is cool with it...get us some assets in return. _________________ Creatures crawl in search of blood, To terrorize y'alls neighborhood. |
