00:00All right, let me ask you here a story going on in Los Angeles.
00:03What happened with LeBron's exit there?
00:05You would have thought maybe potentially they would want him to remain a Laker.
00:09I mean, he just said he would take the league minimum at $3.9 million.
00:14His time in Los Angeles, what do you make of the fact that
00:17they didn't really want him back, Rick?
00:19I mean, they wanted to move on, and they wanted to go forward here without him.
00:24Yeah, well, that's a decision they had to make.
00:26I don't know what's going on in the inner circles there.
00:29I mean, you mentioned some of the teams he might go to.
00:32I mean, talk about Golden State possibly.
00:34I wouldn't mind seeing him there to give Steph a chance to maybe win another championship.
00:37But if I was the Warriors, I'd be worried about they have so many old players.
00:41They probably play oldest age team average-wise in the league.
00:45But sure, I'd love to see him go there.
00:47But hey, you know, the bottom line is he brought them championships.
00:50It was a great deal for them.
00:52They got a lot of publicity.
00:53They had a lot of success.
00:54But boy, you want to talk about the team revamping?
00:57Oh, my God, the Lakers are just tearing themselves apart and rebuilding.
01:00It's going to be interesting to see what kind of team they have next year.
01:03There's no telling what it's going to be.
01:05Rick, what would you do if you were LeBron?
01:08Would you go to a place like Cleveland, go back?
01:11You've already done that, been there.
01:13Do you go to maybe a place, like you just said, when they added Jalen Brown here,
01:17that deal will get consummated soon in the next couple weeks.
01:19But maybe he goes to Philadelphia, plays with Embiid, or does he go down with Giannis
01:24and go back to Eric's bolster and those guys and go down to Miami,
01:29where that's going to give him a great opportunity with Bam and himself.
01:32They need a shooter, Rick.
01:33What would Rick Barry do if you're LeBron?
01:35Well, he's not a shooter.
01:36He's a scorer.
01:37So, the bottom line, well, I don't know.
01:41I mean, who knows what LeBron wants to do.
01:42But certainly, I would say the two choices for him probably would be Miami
01:47or Golden State to play with Steph.
01:50He loves Steph.
01:51He doesn't have to go that far from home.
01:52He stays in the state of California.
01:54He's been to Cleveland.
01:56He's done that there.
01:57And sure, he did it down in Miami as well with Dwayne and the other guys.
02:02But yeah, that would be a pretty formidable team with those three guys
02:05in the front line for the Miami Heat.
02:08So, for a chance to win, he might have a better chance
02:11when he's going down to Miami.
02:13If he decided he was going just to try to win another championship,
02:16that might be the best choice for him there.
