Sad to see him give up on winning. I’ll never understand his obsession with the Lakers. Awful organization from top to bottom.

That went away quick, didn't it.

But I find him taking the max at least to be the value he could get and not gaming the system, so here's to him for that.

Imagine being a 2nd tax apron team with this joke of a roster that the Lakers have :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That team is at best a 10th seed and that's assuming Lebron and AD stay healthy. Atleast teams like the Timberwolves and Celtics can say that they a Championship cailber roster and Suns can they can atleast say that they a chance of making a deep playoff run.

Never thought I'd see the day Lebron becomes a bad contract, but here we are.

LeBron has pretty much never taken less than a max contract, right? Except when he was with the Heat?

So what happened to the one week deadline Lebron gave the FO? Did he really just blink one day in? Guys must love playing Poker against him on those long ass flights.

If he wanted to take a paycut to help the team, he'd have to take a $40M/year deal to take them under the 2nd apron (assuming they use the nontaxpayer MLE before signing Lebron), a smaller paycut wouldnt move the needle for them. That's a significant paycut he didnt seem willing to take.

Haters are so funny


So fourth seed with Lebron and AD in the biggest market is a success now?

And no chance they get anywhere within the top 6. They have a better chance of missing the top 12 than getting a top 4 seed with this roster. Grant won't fix that.
