    Default Would the Lakers be better off waiving LeBron?

    He's unlikely to agree to a trade that will benefit the Lakers. Someone will pick him up which means they'll be off the hook for the salary for the rest of the year.

    They're playing good without him and aren't likely to get better if at all. They might actually get worse.

    It's time to move on.

    Yes.

    But ONLY if they have a handshake agreement in place that he returns next year to play with Bronny and Bryce.

    Then the Lakers will be truly ready to contend for a title.

    Right now he deserves one last chance to win via the hardest road possible, a la OKC, DEN or HOU. Places where expectations and pressure are super high and the rosters are not assembled in a way he's used to. If he can win in one of those situations, he becomes the Ultra-Forever-GOAT

    You don't think he's likely to disrupt their offensive and defensive flow?

    LeBron has a shitty attitude, he's always had a shitty attitude. His talent has declined because of his age and he is no longer strong of a player enough to overcome all the bullshit. The Lakers clearly have some form of synergy going on right now and he's likely to shit all over that.

    The entire basketball world would be better off if LeBron just pulled his famous 4th quarter act and just.... disappeared.
