Their current roster:
D'Angelo Russell/Gabe Vincent
Austin Reeves/Jalen Hood-Schifino
Lebron/Cam Reddish/Knecht
Rui Hachimura/Jarred Vanderbilt
Anthony Davis/Christian Wood/Jaxson Hayes
And all they need is Harden/Klay/Valanciunas to push them over the top?
*I* don't think any of those options put them over top. I have no idea if Lebron thinks one of them might (there's not much evidence that he is a particularly good GM), or if, as others are saying, the list is pure propaganda. I'm just pointing out that $16M/year for Lebron James is proportionally about the cost of a week's vacation in Cancun for your average middle class family. It's not nothing, but if he genuinely thinks it will bring another ring and/or increase his overall brand it's also not much of sacrifice.
