Summary

The Lakers have more certainty with their own free agents as LeBron James has opted into his contract for next season while Dorian Finney-Smith has opted out of his deal. Pete and Darius discuss both decisions, including what kind of deal they would offer DFS now that he's on the open market, how LeBron's decision impacts the Lakers flexibility heading into free agency, how they interpreted Rich Paul's comments about LeBron's decision and his potential future with the Lakers, and much more.
