It's understandable that LeBron would want to join a stronger team for one last try for a championship. This could very well be his final season. The Lakers just don't have enough depth. Even if they make the play-offs, it'll probably end in an early exit.
At this point in LeBron's career, the search for a last dance is completely logical. The Lakers have a depth problem right now. Lakers players, while dominant at times, lacks consistency, their role players lack confidence, especially D'Angelo Russell, who has been slumping in the playoffs. There are serious contenders in the West like Denver, Minnesota, OKC, Dallas. If the Lakers fail to make a meaningful move this summer and LeBron wants to go somewhere with a more open championship window in his final season, no one would be surprised.
Would be more cool if he do that on Cleveland since somehow this is where he start his career.
Cleveland also doing good last season so maybe they can maximize things up and make better campaign next season especially if Lebron will be added on their roster.
But it still up on Lebron if he want to go home or find those ideal team that can bring him a championship for the last time. This is big challenge now for him also with Lakers. Looking forward for more updates of Lebron's possible departure in Lakers since for sure it creates more bigger noise especially if Lebron would officially go out on Lakers.
