he should but he's LeBron and won't admit that he's just not as good as he thinks he use to be

On a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you hate LeBron?

What does this even mean really? What he thinks he used to be? He used to be the best player in the game. He's currently tenths of a point from leading the league in scoring. He's 4th in the league in PER, behind only the popular MVP contenders Jokic, Giannis, and Embiid, while ahead of Durant. He's pretty damn close to still being the best player in the league at age 37.

No, he just needs to go to a team where he doesn’t have to play 40 mins/ game to win games. He carried teams throughout his career, he deserves a break…he is getting old but still lethal.
Not saying it should happen or will but a team like the Cavs makes sense. They have assets to trade for him and young players that help carry the load, they also have depth so he can manage his minutes more. I like what the Cavs are building though so would rather not have that happen

LOL, he's not going anywhere.

He is after next year
We'll see. He's pretty involved in LA outside of basketball.

That said, if he's expecting max money on his next contract, he can walk (or S&T). That kind of money at that age will only further hamstring this franchise IMO. Of course, that's hoping we have an actual functioning front office sometime in the near future, preferably free of any Rambis interference of any kind or gender.

It's true he may just decide to prioritize the entertainment stuff. I doubt he knows yet. Just feels like a reasonable thing...go play with his son in Cleveland and win a 5th title...

If he's still playing at this level, max money (or close to it) would be fine on a 1 year deal.

It's quite an assumption to put Bronny on the Cavs too.

Can you name another 37 year old that averaged 30 points per game on 50+ % shooting? I can't. LeBron's still elite.
