Point is... there are ways he doesn't have to walk away for nothing.
Probably very unlikely either LA teams give an unprotected (LBJ will be 40yo, perhaps out of the league by then) or top-5 protected (PG13 and Kawhi will be declining as well, surely into the mid 30's) for an 36yo PG, just my opinion though.
