## Resource

The biggest NBA story of the offseason just dropped: LeBron James is leaving the Los Angeles Lakers. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize react to the stunning news, discuss why LeBron made the decision, what it says about the Lakers' future, and rank the teams with the best chance to sign one of the greatest players in NBA history. Then the guys revisit the blockbuster Ja Morant trade to Portland, asking whether the market has shifted for undersized star guards and whether Morant and Damian Lillard can actually coexist in today's NBA. Plus, they examine the growing buzz around Kawhi Leonard potentially returning to Toronto and debate whether the Raptors should roll the dice on another championship gamble. Finally, with free agency officially opening, the crew highlights the under-the-radar players who could quietly become some of the best signings of the summer. It's wall-to-wall NBA offseason coverage on Locked On NBA Daily.
