VAL has his priorities right. Greek beaches in the morning, games in the evening.

plus its not like he is getting a haircut in salary.

reported 13 mil euro for 3 years. apx 15 mil usd
and thats after taxes.

vs nba 10.4 mil this year + $10 mil non guaranteed next year + lets say 1 more year at $5mil

after taxes he probably makes less than what he makes in euro league
and only has to play 50ish games total in all competitions in euro league vs 100+ in nba with denver

I feel we're a better team chemistry wise with Wiggins instead of Barrett but people seem to think Wiggins have more trade value, and not sure if it's worth it to give assets.

Not sure how LeBron gets this done.

Cavs can't aggregate without shedding 12million in salary to get under 2nd apron and don't have a unique contracts that matches.

I'm sure there's a way but seems not so easy. They'd have to basically trade like Max Strus into someone's Cap Space (Nets). Get under 2nd apron.

Then, I'm guessing Lakers are going to ask for Jarrett Allen and/or Garland. Either way, you'll need $50million in Salary, so that's like both Garland and Allen.

Now the Cavs are losing waaayyy too much.

Otherwise, LeBron pushes for a buy-out? Why would the Lakers do that?

[Dr Positivity]

If Lebron was going to Cavs he would have told them 6 months ago and they would done different moves like trading Allen for capspace and not signing Merrill.

sale of lakers happened recently. thatmay have changed things

LeBron can't accept being #2 to anyone. This has nothing about his will to win another ring. He knows it's not his team for the first time in his career. The Lakers should just waive Bronny and get the ball rolling

Not to mention cost of living in Greece vs Denver is way less.

Any team that has Lebron as #1 or #2 is going to be out in the first round of the playoffs. He can be the leader of the team like Kyle Lowry, but not the 1st or 2nd option on a team.

He did this same sh*t back when he was with the Cavs i.e. working out in Miami back in...2015 or 2016?

So sick of this nonsense from LeDramaKing.

People who think Wiggins has more value haven't seen how atrocious he was with the Heat.

Chemistry wise how? Barrett & Quickly have always played on the same team & majority of the squad is 2yrs in already.. Even Ingram came in and & fit perfectly to form BBIQ. I guess Wiggins would be cool at the 2 but he's also older than Barrett

Its more fit simply because Wiggins can shoot the 3 and defend better than RJ. Those are the qualities you need when you are being asked to play off the ball more.

Its also why many think Ochai fits better in the starting lineup than RJ and why RJ has also been involved in so many rumours.

Magic are looking to save salary by trading Goga or Anthony Black.

so the contract shedding by the magic begins earlier than expected. denver could use goga.

Raptors could use Goga and let him/Mamu battle for the backup C spot. He'd also be a great injury insurance for Poeltl where the team doesnt completely tank the season if he gets hurt.

he makes slightly more than Ochai this year, but could trading Ochai for Goga make some sense to help balance things out? Mamu and Goga also start on their national team together at PF/C.

I'm too high on Ochai to do that, i would go get him if the price is really cheap. Hes been waived a few times. Just wish this front office was good identifying free agents as they are draftable players.

Adding Frank Vogel is a move that makes sense if they are planning on Lebron jumping ship to Dallas. He helped LA win a title and LBJ respects him.

you might be onto something...
