It will be his 23d season in the league. He should only play 23 games during the season and average 23ppg. The Lakers will make the playoffs and every series except the finals should be 7 games, the finals should be 6. That way he will play 23 games in the playoffs too. Also he should average 23ppg in the playoffs. Whether they win the ring or not is irrelevant, what’s important is that the 23 playoff games need to be reached.
He says he wants to retire when he thinks he can’t give it his all
But he spent more time in the league than out of it, idk if it’ll be that easy.
Lowkey think he pulls a Brady
Leaves LA to join some “Superteam” or shit in like 2025 and doesn’t have to do as much.
Retire and then decides he actually can’t do that bc he doesn’t know what it’s like to retire, then he gets a farewell tour the following season and eases into retirement better
