Draymond Green’s take on LeBron James as greater than Michael Jordan sharpens the GOAT debate by praising James’ ability to win with a limited supporting cast, citing Matthew Dellavedova as an example. The discussion contrasts James’ string of Finals runs against Jordan’s era, framed by the Warriors’ peak from 2015–2018.

Counterpoints highlight the quality of James’ supporting casts across Cleveland, Miami, and L.A.—Wade, Bosh, Irving, Love, Davis—versus Jordan’s surrounding cohort. The piece also notes Luka Dončić as a modern factor in the debate, underscoring how era and roster depth shape the GOAT conversation. The argument remains nuanced and data-rich, not settled.

LeBron James starts his 23rd NBA season, chasing a historic longevity run while remaining one of fantasy basketball’s premier assets when healthy. Lakers chatter centers on whether LA will pursue a dramatic LeBron–Knicks swap, a move that would instantly reshape title odds in the East and test the balance of the Lakers’ roster. While the odds fluctuate, James’s continued excellence keeps him squarely in fantasy rosters, with Bronny James and Dalton Knecht in the mix as potential future pieces. Luka Doncic anchors attention as a co-leader in the league’s fantasy landscape, and the conversation widens with Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Desmond Bane as possible trade or lineup fulcrums. The Knicks’ hypothetical bid would push rival teams to reconfigure, while the Lakers’ path remains geared toward championship contention rather than a blockbuster reboot.

Larry Nance Jr. anchors the Lakers No. 7 jersey story, linking 80 seasons of Lakers lore from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. Drafted 27th in 2015 from Wyoming, he became a high-flying, hard-nosed rebounder who embodied energy and rim finishing.

Traded to Cleveland in 2017-18, he spent several seasons there before returning this summer as a free agent, with Cleveland pursuing its first East Finals since 2018. The piece frames the Lakers’ roster depth and lineage, placing Nance within that enduring history for fantasy rosters.
