NBA NBA Thread: Gamble Gate

Neither is a surprise. The cap is going up and their salaries aren't keeping up with the current cap. DFS is just a good role player. The problem is if LeBron does the player option. The Lakers have zero chance of winning a championship if he does that. They just have too many needs.

Didn't LeRoid already opt in on his player option? I thought that was a done deal. Lakers might fuck around and make Luka cut and run.

I don't know, I don't think so? I think its just reported he will but its also being reported he wants a shot at a championship this season. So unless its a sign and trade maybe, but he'd be better off just signing a vet minimum on a stacked team

DominAYTON with the Lakes?

I think ayton being released is a lock that he joins the lakers

Par for course, but heaps of trade rumours circulating about Bron in recent hours, blowing up on all the socials.

Every report I see says LeBron is opting in to the $53 million next year. Dude is a billionaire and won't take one cent less to help the team that he says needs help.

I watched some ESPN sports propaganda about it this morning. The report, supposedly, is no team would be interested in taking 40 year old LeJuice for 50 million next season. As an example they said Cleveland would have to give up 4 or 5 solid players just to make it work. So for any team that's a contender, its all but impossible.

Given all the money he makes elsewhere, I’m surprised he doesn’t take a pay cut and go to a winning team or stay in LA and make them able to bring in better talent around him.

Why should a second team all nba player take a pay cut? If anything he should make more.

He’s a billionaire already and the league is so much deeper with talent than years prior that he should take a pay cut to bring in more talent. Also he’s 40 now, and can’t just carry teams on his back to the finals like he used to.

LeJuice loves winning, but he loves money more. That's fine, a lot of people are like that in the league, but we have to recognize it for what it is.

 

[Sweater of AV]

So LeBrick is upset with the Lakers roster and not competing for a ring? After getting Luka? What happened to complaining about ring culture?



The reason the team isn't going anywhere is because he's a can that makes $53 million/year and blames everyone else for everything. No competitive team is trading for him.

He should stick to podcasting.

Tbf Kobe did take somewhat of a discount in his last contract. He was fine with not being a contender as long as he could jack up 30 shots a game. LeJuice/snitch Paul are still claiming to try to win.

He was the highest paid player in the league his last year. Lmao

 

[Revolver]

Can’t wait until the new majority owner cleans out the front office.

 

[Corona]

And he was eligible for even more money.

“Bryant remained the league's highest-paid player, although he accepted a discounted deal; Bryant had been eligible to receive an extension starting at $32 million per year”

 

[Revolver]

Lmao
