Andy Baskin's latest report suggests LeBron James' camp was close to making an announcement last week during NBA free agency week but pulled back after feeling pressured by the league office, prompting a debate on the show about how much to trust the tip given Baskin's deep Cavs connections. The conversation turns into a broader case for LeBron's leverage, with the hosts arguing he may be the last American male superstar capable of single-handedly holding up a league and that he's still underpaid relative to the value he's generated.
