Justin Russo: “The thoughts I have watching this current Lakers team:
‣ How did Nico Harrison let this happen?
‣ They might get the #2 seed in the West
‣ No, seriously, how did Nico convince himself?
‣ How do teams even defend Luka-LeBron?
‣ NO. SERIOUSLY. WHAT WAS NICO THINKING?”

Sam Quinn: “If you would’ve 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 don’t just think he has a chance at No. 5, but maybe even No. 6.”
