This was ALWAYS a throwaway year once the Mark Williams trade was rescinded

He was always gonna come back once the Lakers have a full offseason

But here’s something yall don’t seem to understand

If LeBron were to retire right now… the Lakers only open up $13 million in cap space. THATS IT.

Who are they picking up to be the 2nd option for $13 million!? lol. The Lakers best bet is to have Lebron take a $20 mil dollar haircut to open up the mid level exception and have trade chips on Vando, Rui, Reaves

Lebron has already stated last year he was willing to take a big paycut for Harden/Klay/Jonas
Nahhhhh we’re not going to do that when they’ve been hyped these past couple of months and expected to beat the Timberwolves.

You even had people hyping up Hayes.

A nikka that as a Millionaire had Pandora with commercials because he didn’t want to pay it, didn’t turn on data roaming on his phone, illegally streamed NBA games and brings in chips to the movie theater is gonna take a $20 million paycut?

Yall know LeBron ain’t going out without the Kobe tour come on now :mjlol:
It would be cool to see someone get the tour while still being a capable talent. Everybody elses tour they were shells of themselves,

I remember when Kobe said he was retiring @30. Then I remember he said he wasn't ever sticking around to the point he couldn't average 20, so while that tour was "cool". I highly doubt thats how Kobe wanted to go out, 60plus and all.

Lakers played better than was expected of them. Initially people ALL thought Dallas got better and Lakers would be lucky to be in the playin

That this was a move for the future and not the present

Nah man… I remember those narratives and talks

It went out the window cause they were winning DESPITE the roster deficiencies
