 Is that why Bronny has to end the draft now? Because as far as I'm concerned, the Lakers are making it very clear that they want to pay him $160-plus million for the next three years. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that LeBron James, with reduced minutes, can't play well until his early 40s. His good friend, Udonis Haslam, now I know it's a little bit of a different role, but he played until he was 43. Vince Carter played until he was 43. Why can't LeBron? LeBron takes better care of himself than anybody.
