July 16th TheAthletic Lakers Dan Woike and famous reporter Joe Vardon jointly wrote an article to analyze the steps required for James to join the Cavaliers. The original text is as follows:

If James intends to return to Cleveland, the most convenient way is to refuse to execute the player option and directly sign the Cavaliers on a contract that is far lower than the current salary.

If the Cavaliers try to get James through the transaction, they need to be operated in two steps: first cut players and assets to avoid the restrictions on the second rich line, and then sacrifice the rotation core members to match their huge salary.
