The Lakers have been connected to both Mitchell Robinson and Robert Williams III, per @JakeLFischer
“The Lakers have been linked to all sorts of veteran big men in the forthcoming free agent market as well. They could emerge as a suitor for the Knicks' Mitchell Robinson and the Trail Blazers' Robert Williams III, although sources say both players are very open to remaining in their incumbent roles with the Knicks and Blazers.”

All scholarly research papers conclude that LeBron’s stats would significantly decline if he played under the rules of Michael Jordan’s era.

The Timberwolves reportedly would only trade Jaden McDaniels for Nikola Jokić or Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @MikeAScotto
“Other teams have always called on rising swingman Jaden McDaniels. Minnesota has made him essentially untradable unless it was for a blockbuster trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo orNikola Jokic.”

Wade: LeBron needed me, not the other way around
Wade was a champion before LeBron. Facts. This isn’t an opinion
It’s a fact
Bronsexuals forget LeBron ran to a champion. Weakest move in the history of the nba and on top got Bosh who was better than Pau Gasol

And the loser is still 4-6 🤣🤣🤣
