If you were hoping to get any kind of decent return on a bet that LeBron James would start next season with the Los Angeles Lakers, it would seem that time has passed. According to MyBookie, the Lakers sit at an absolutely astounding -5000 to sign James this summer.
For reference, that computes to that oddsmaker thinking the Lakers are 98% likely to lure LeBron away from Cleveland. You would have to pay $5,000 to merely walk away with $100. That’s nothing short of incredible.
We’ve already seen reports today that LeBron will offer the Cavs a meeting only by phone and that his plane landed earlier today in Los Angeles.
