I mean...MAYBE he tried to get his customary 1+1, only the Lakers weren't interested, which could explain his angst from this past week.
None of it really matters at the end of the day. He's 41 and can still play a little, but nowhere near being worth what it would take to get him in a trade, due to salary alone. They (the Lakers) are one of the worst run franchises in all of pro sports, and have been for quite some time. Judging by what they did before LeBron randomly decided to go there and then he and AD colluded his path to follow...and also, everything they did between that asterisk bubble championship and the crazy trade of last season...my guess is that Pelinka and Buss will be out and long gone before the Lakers are good again (Luka, too).
