I can't even blame Vogel, it's a **** show for any coach. Pelinka? Maybe. He didn't show any backbone when LeBron and AD pushed for WB.

Lebron needs to go to the Warriors. End his career on a high note.

To be fair, it requires all 6 infinity stones to activate the gauntlet.

I'd say if any variation of that THT, Nunn, and 2027 1st rounder for Grant is workable/on the table do that.

Next would be swap Westbrook for Wall, could be a lateral move but worth a shot. The 1st rounder will already be gone so I'd just offer as many 2nd rounders as they want.

Trade DJ for a top 55 protected 2nd to whoever wants him.

won't matter

the lakers are at the end of their rope in terms of assets, and no star will want to play with him at this point. they can't deplete their already waning body count and any stars out there will go somewhere else. younger players will look at other young players' successes AWAY from lebron

a healthy davis is lebron's best bet

Go full 2018 Cavs. Abandon defense for shooting and stop looking for another playmaker that cant shoot. Schroeder was a bad idea and Westbrook was an all-time blunder
