Skip: James originally wanted to rely on Luka to have a championship tour, but his plan fell apart after he was refused to renew his contract.

October 10th Today, Skip talked about James on his podcast "TheSkipBaylessShow".

Skip said: "Pelinka is completely fed up now. A 40-year-old veteran, the gas tank has long been bottomed out. The management's move to fully embrace Luka really surprised me, because it directly exposed LeBron's calculations. He originally wanted to renew the contract for two or three years and take the initiative to retire.

"His original plan was beautiful, relying on Luka to win one or two more championships, and launch the "LeBron Farewell Tour" in the United States in glory - this was what he deserved. After all, this "false king" and "pseudo GOAT" enjoyed this kind of scene the most, but the Lakers management insisted on forcing him to leave. Going on tour? Announcing the final season now! Everywhere he went, the streets were empty, and every city offered generous gifts, just like Dr. J did back then, but what was LeBron's response? ‘Go to hell’!

'When the Lakers management boldly played the 'refuse to renew' card, LeBron's team was completely panicked. They forced the superstar to make a decision at the opening of training camp. How did the 'pseudo king' respond? To tarnish your legendary career by pretending to be sick, do you still remember how glorious the "Decision 1" live broadcast was back then? Now he ruined his final performance in such a childish way! "
