Warriors Leverage LeBron’s Market

Warriors are circling LeBron James as free agency looms, and it’s already rattling the Lakers’ plans. Even if LeBron stays in LA, the mere threat of him joining Steph and Draymond could force the Lakers to overpay him—maybe even into the $40M range—to keep him. LeBron’s starting at max, but he’s got leverage: he could hint he’d prefer Golden State’s offer, pushing LA to splurge. If the Lakers cave, they’ll be stuck with a bloated payroll and a roster that can’t keep up with Luka’s rising prime. Warriors win either way.
