β£ NO. SERIOUSLY. WHAT WAS NICO THINKING?”

Sam Quinn: “If you wouldβve asked me a month ago, I would have felt reasonably confident LeBron was retiring with four rings.
The Luka trade has reinvigorated him to such an extent that if they get this summer right, I donβt just think he has a chance at No. 5, but maybe even No. 6.”
