That was nearly 20 years ago man. We old

Yeah lol I was there

C’mon man, what kind of false comparison is this? If we’re talking contract value, compare him to other players making $45–50M today… not to the greatest Lakers of all time. 😂 The market dictated what he was worth this summer. We don’t have to like it or agree with it, but the Lakers had two...

The Knicks situation and the Lakers are totally different my man.

I’m not a tax or cap guy just thinking off the top of my head… sometimes it helps to see things typed out. But if I’m understanding what you’re saying correctly the Lakers if LeBron wasn’t on the team and they spend cap space this summer that somehow next summer they’d still be a non-tax...

Asking two players (in the prime of their careers) who are clearly worth max contracts to take less so the team can build around them seems pretty unrealistic, to say the least. It’s too early on a Sunday to be drinking already man.

Is this in the scenario where LeBron isn’t on the roster?

How you like em?

Even if both of those guys took slight haircuts on their contracts, I don’t think it would move the needle much. Once you’re paying two players max or near-max money, it becomes really tough to fill out the rest of the roster with enough talent and depth to compete for a championship. So if...

Finally saw em in person myself and they are nice. My only issue with lots of the GT Cut 1 colorways is that they’re too light and when you play ball in them they’re going to get dirty fast.

On the flip side, let’s say they let LeBron walk and spend that $50-ish million on free agents. They’ll be fine in Year 1, but by Year 2 things start getting tight. Luka will be making around $54 million, Reaves around $45 million, and those free-agent deals could easily be $55-60 million after...

Yup haha check it out and then go grab yourself a $20 smoothie from Erewhon lol

I’ve only been once… can’t remember if it was during the soft opening or after the grand opening. Anyhow, prices were pretty much retail… don’t recall anything on discount but guess that’s changed. Probably beating a dead horse BUT I’ll continue to say it… best prices are going to be on the...

Absolutely. I’d do the same thing if I were in his shoes… no need to sign an extension now, plus keep pressure on the front office to upgrade the team around him. Don’t see him leaving and the only reason I brought it up was for jokes… 😂 I hope no one’s reading that and taking it seriously.

Yup. This is why I always thought all the doom and gloom talk about the Nuggets being handcuffed by the second apron was overblown. You either show Joker you’re still committed to building a contender around him, or you risk losing him down the road. If it ever got to that point, maybe you...
