I am not sure what you are trying to argue here. Yes, that one season of being a contender would be fun. And if you lost you would ultimately have a fun year that ended in disappointment. And then another 5-10 years of disappointment that followed without the afterglow of victory to get you through the lean years. Near 40-year-old LeBron is still a really great player. He isn't Carry-you-on-your-back-to-the-finals good anymore, though. If you can somehow find a way to get a 1-year rental of 2012-2018 LeBron, let's talk. But not 2024-2025 LeBron. It’s a poor risk/reward proposition to me. It’s ics of dream like going on a date with a dream woman where there is a 10 percent chance you get laid and a 90 percent chance your wife finds out and you lose custody of your children. Just not worth it.
