LeBron James is preparing his final run with the Los Angeles Lakers. The first step has already been made opting out of his final year of his contract to give the franchise a real chance of signing Klay Thompson.

The King is willing to take a big pay cut because he believes a new Big Three with Anthony Davis and Klay might be enough to win the Western Conference and reach the NBA Finals.

One thing is for sure. Klay Thompson is leaving the Golden State Warriors and that’s the end of an era with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Lakers and Mavs were favorites to get him.
