Deep dives

LeBron's Time in LA

The question asks if the Lakers fumbled LeBron's time in LA. While the Lakers have made some questionable decisions, it is unlikely that LeBron made a mistake leaving the Cavs. The Cavs were not able to provide a championship-contending team around him. Furthermore, the magic making a sixth seed and avoiding the play-in is unlikely, as they have fallen in the standings after a hot start. While they have the easiest remaining schedule, they still face stiff competition in the East.
