An organization bending over backwards for a current top 10 player and one whom many consider the possible GOAT is them becoming a sham?
Two things
On this season's out put, no way is Lebron still a top ten player in this league and secondly, the way they are selling their future potential championship/success hopes in order to accommodate Lebron and his ego really is embarrassing
They will pay him the max 3 year extension too.
Yeah this is what I mean.
If it was a team like Sacramento, Orlando, Indiana, even Denver..I could see it. But the Lakers? The most storied franchise in the NBA? The name on the front of the jersey basically is a money printing machine. Whey are they resorting to worshiping the ground LeBron walks on? They're the LAKERS. They should never be down for long, but other than that bubble championship, they've been trash (by their standards) for over a decade, and letting LeBron run the show like this is just kinda pathetic. They're better than that. Or, with the front office and ownership, perhaps they aren't.
