    Tell you what, I think, number one, people don't understand the weight that LeBron James carries. Still, after 24 years, 23 years, whatever, however long he's been in the NBA, I still think people don't understand the force, the weight that this guy carries. You know, from an overall standpoint, you know, the economics that he brings to a team, the economic impact that he may have on the city. and then also the basketball. Like, any time LeBron James is on the floor, A, your team have a chance to win, but B, you have to account for him in a major way. And I think personally the Lakers are going to feel that next year. Like, even, you know, with Luka coming in and essentially coming in and being the face of the organization right away, LeBron James was still there. You know, and as long as LeBron James is there, there's a presence that's going to be felt there's you know for Luke if he's struggling they'll still always point the finger to LeBron James because he's LeBron you know and I think now you know now that he'll be gone I think the pressure on Luke arises and Luke a cut out for but I think the pressure on Austin Reeves it rises even more now and and I think I think me personally I I think the Lakers organization will feel that impact more than they know from an economic and present standpoint because Bron is just such a huge force. But, you know, they went out and got some pieces that fit around Luka, a lob threat as a center. You know, they've got some wings. And so, you know, I think they'll have a good team. And at the end of the day, Luka is still a, you know, he's still a generational player in his own right. You know, so I think, you know, overall, still be a good team, but it's going to be different for sure.
