## Resource

First Take resumes with finding LeBron's next running mate. How crisp would his pocket passes to Steph coming off a screen look?

Then, is there more pressure on Luka or the Lakers front office now that LeBron is officially gone? Next, we break down Mitchell Robinson betraying his brothers by signing with the Celtics, and the Lakers massive overpay for Walker Kessler.
