Recently, Skip talked about James' decision on his channel "The Skip Bayless Show"2.

He said: "You're trying to make a statement to the Lakers, trying to teach them a lesson. Right? 'If you don't need me, then I don't need you. You don't want to get all my input this year.' I don't think he will go all out this year. The playing time will be reduced, which may be good for him in the long run. Maybe he can stay healthier because of it, maybe as the playoffs get closer. It's going to be a little bit more intense. But this season is going to be all about Luka, and it's always going to be about Luka being in control. I think you're going to see a lot of hot potato passes - pass it to me, I'll pass it to you, Luka, and I'll pass it back to you, Luka."

"And all of this is to build momentum for the so-called second decision."Mini-game recommendations:Dark Academy Fashion
