LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

what a great teammate

 

If one frame is worth 1,000 words what are those worth or any of the other LBJ deuche gifs. But read my sig .... have started again toward the dark side. I just hope it all goes obviously bad out of the gate in OKC. Come home first PG before we have to sign this guy.

 

Wait....6'6" is considered small now?

 

Glad you found the stash of gifs, but I was referring to his shrinking testicles during crunch time.

Unless you are suggesting Lebron has a 6'6" penis, then that would make him a really big d***.

 

Sign him to a 4 year max deal, and then trade him to Suckramento.

 

No, I'm suggesting the Ball LaBron will have is 6'6" and I don't consider that as having small ballz.

But it looks like you're suggesting that I'm a really big d***.

 

Yah

 

Where the hell is the motion footage from today's practice already? Julius, Kentavious and Kyle .... Metta Artests out there.

 

Chief, I think LaBron will continue to sign short deals with option years. Remember, he can always push management via Rich Paul to give him an extension after year 2 of any contract we give him. This way, he allows flexibility towards our roster to continue to bring his bronanas in and he still gets paid. Over the course of his career, he's sacrificed money to do so. I don't feel he's going to stop that blueprint now, especially with all his lucrative off the court endeavors he currently has. Looks like Durantulame is doing the same thing for the Dubs with a chance to get into bed with Lacob after his playing days are over. The Silicone Valley has its perks

However, lets say he does sign a long term deal. The Lakers just went through the worst era of their existence yet led the league in profitability. If you're concerned with cap flexibility, once we get 2 max players next summer, we can bust through the cap ceiling and become tax payers. We have proven that we are lucrative even in a losing position and I'm positive management has no problem paying tax on a roster they believe in. Not to mention, we'll still have young talent on rookie deals that will allow us to maneuver around any cap restrictions we potentially could face.

Long story short, I personally ain't concerned with LaBron or any other star's salary constraints on this team. Comparing it to Kobe's contract, we clearly were in a rebuild period so it affected our cap maneuverability. It was long scrutinized cause Kobe is a win-now player sitting on a rebuilding team so there was no direction we committed to moving forward...and then there was the playing him so thin where he had to be on the bench recovering during the most expensive years of his deal. As I mentioned in my previous posts, this league is soft as f*** right now and LaBron has exploited it. I have a good feeling he will not endure what Kobe had to. Also recall that the NBA didn't have the huge cable deal and Nike deal that they just locked down, so the salary cap was far lower during Kobe's day. For comparison: Kobe's 25M per with a salary cap of 78M vs max player of 34M with a 99M salary cap.

We have by far the best local cable deal in the business with Spectrum and we just locked up Wish as a jersey sponsor for the next 3 years. We opened doors to the best team facility in the business and our merch keeps selling even with players that have so far lost on the back of them. We're gearing up to make a huge financial splash...all signs point to it. So as a fan, player salary is the least of my concerns....and as a team, they too don't seem to be too concerned. Cap flexibility is the issue, but as I stated before, there is more money in the pool and the new CBA just got picked up for an extension till 2024, so both the players and owners like maneuvering within it.

 

LOL, definitely not you. Good to have you back, and always appreciate the quality posts/takes.
