Annual salary of 52.6 million, the first person in the league is despised by the parent team! If you can t afford to play, it s better to get together and part with each other.

. The Lakers can rebuild around Doncic wholeheartedly without having to bear the reputation of "wasting James' peak"; the Cavaliers can get a leader who still has the power to fight. Even if James retires for only one year, the team can re-plan around Mitchell and Mobri in the future, and at the same time gain huge salary space; and James can not only return to his familiar hometown, but also strive for the championship again in the slightly competitive East. Why not do it?

But the Lakers are not going to let go. They hold the most commercially valuable stage in the league, have a top lineup like James and Doncic, where new and old legends are in the same frame, and the epic scene of James and his son competing on the same stage. They even want to use James' retirement tour to carry out the last wave of harvest. This summer, the Lakers' management completely exposed their greed, hesitated to strengthen the company, and passed by many big fish. The contract renewal of Fanny Smith was undecided and the latter joined the Rockets. Ayton signed was still a player with a problem with his professional attitude. The Lakers' reinforcement was very similar to a primary school student who dealed with homework!

This is not over yet. When James tore open the hypocritical fig leaf of the Lakers management and chooses to execute the last-year contract of $52.6 million, the entire Lakers' senior management no longer calmed down. Los Angeles media also accused James of his greed and selfishness towards money, and the cracks between James and the Lakers became bigger and bigger! James told the Lakers in this way: either show sincerity in competing for the championship, or admit that you can't afford to play, let's get together and part. If the Lakers continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, then the breakup may be the only ending. After all, for a legend who has devoted his career to basketball and left his peak in the Lakers, he deserves a team that is willing to do his best; for the Lakers, losing such a first-place player in the league who can sell tickets and win games is probably the real "miscalculation".
