Listen, it was bound to happen eventually.
Hell, he’d already been pretty successful at delaying the inevitable, certainly longer than most expected.
Hate the guy all you want, but this punch in of production is legitimately insane.

At some point, your talent is your talent.
I mean, no shit a guy that old is going to show signs of his age.
I would bet my life that even though he’s playing like shit, that brings LeBron some joy.

But my question is more about the Lakers future.
In the NBA, you have to be early and not late when it comes to this stuff.
In about two weeks, LeBron will officially be allowed to be traded.

At the same time, trading LeBron midseason sounds rather insane on the surface.
Especially if his caliber of play might be doing more harm than good?
The whole thing fascinates me because really, LeBron has this entire franchise by the balls.

You lived with that reality these last few years because the on-the-court production made it worth it.
But if you remove that part of the equation, what then?
