Of the top 10 GOATs, how many were on the Lakers? Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Shaq and now James. Top 20? 30? I dont see how a MVP candidate in his prime, going to the Lakers and setting himself up for multiple champioship runs, would be denting his legacy. If anything, its gonna boost it further.
All that aside, hed be foolish to reject the Lakers. They can offer him anything other teams can, but no other team can offer him what the Lakers can. Both on and off the court
