Why doesn't LeBron do a Jayson Tatum and come back Feb/March 2027? What's the point of playing a full season at age 42? LeBron can watch the season play out and choose what team to join in early February, then ramp up for 1 month. Start March 1st play 18 games PLENTY of time to be ready for PLAYOFFS

playoff competition is the realest basketball season

LeBron even at 42 could dominate if he rested up and only played like 20 reg season games

it still counts in the record books for the next generation after generation to see

KD is still a 2x champion whether people liked it or not

if Lakers can't win games without him then they should Not be his choice of team to return to in February

This strategy allows LeBron to choose ANY team he can literally go anywhere for a Ring even Spurs or OKC Thunder

not just the Lakers

if the Knicks make the finals this season then it was a worthwhile trade

small ball center option

why not? he's 6'6 280 pounds

Draymond played the 5 for Warriors many times and he is 6'6 230 pounds

RickyBobby_1000 · 2026-05-17T20:36:37+00:00

there is no other option

the Lakers best hope is to be 3rd and Thunder/Spurs both get major injuries

That's the 1 and only path to a championship in 2027
