Sure it's nice, but not mostly unrealistic in the modern day sports landscape. Also this doesn't have anything to do with my post really.

I doubt you'd be saying this if Patrick Mahomes decided to bolt when his contract is up so don't give me that 'LeBron has no reason to make long-term commitment' Cavs drafted and did everything he wanted when he returned.

I'm in favour of the players having as much rights as possible over the owners (especially when that player is arguably the greatest athlete of all time), so I doubt my opinion would be any different if it was Mahomes taking short-term contracts (he has no leverage right now to do so) or anybody else. LeBron wants the freedom each offseason (or thereabouts) to choose what he's going to do or where he's going to play at this stage of his career and I have no idea why anybody would knock him for it.
