As for teams no longer on the oddsboard, the Lakers are at the top of the list, having lost in five games to the defending champion Nuggets in the first round.
Now, the attention turns to what is next for their superstar LeBron James, who has a player option ahead of next season.
On Tuesday's edition of "Undisputed," Skip Bayless said that Hollywood should remain home for James … and his son, Bronny.
"It's much ado about zero to me. He's going to be a Laker. … His son is going to be a Laker. I will bet you on it because Klutch [Sports Agency] is going to make it happen. … [The Lakers] can offer [LeBron] three more years at $164 million. It's great money, and he's also earned that money because he's still the face — not only of this franchise, but he's still the face of the league."
