I have assumed LBJ would have been given a 1+1 if he had asked -- ie, I assume he did not ask - because IMO LA will always cater to his wishes, even if absurd (see James, Bronny/draft and /contract). I have no answer as far as why he never asked, but I still believe that was what has happened.

That was my initial feeling as well. Since then, absorbing everything out there (much of which is probably BS, admittedly) I have come to believe that it's possible they didn't offer it to him. Stein said something along those lines on today's DLLS podcast, and that's not the first time it occurred to me, but it did confirm it as a possibility (to me, at least).
