Take the money. The contact is guaranteed, the ring is not.
Hes already billionere they need him build around ad and lebron another star like klay or pg could perfect fit
@@hurelulgaenkhtur7626 I agree but that's not a guarantee that they win a chip by taking less money. NBA/NFL owners don't give discounts, neither should he.
Why play the sport then you just wasting everyone's time and money
And @@hurelulgaenkhtur7626
What’s does he need more money for
I believe the main thing he wants to do rn is play with Bronny. In hindsight, he has it all already
I mean he could always retire and then come back if Bronny gets in the league
Lebron will retire as soon as the NBA
integrates expansion teams into the league ..
UNTIL THEN:
>Lebron's 22nd year in the league
*Bronny will be in the NBA* ..
>Lebron's 23rd year in the league
*Bryce will be in the NBA* ..
at the end of THAT 23rd year
the "expansion teams" will be HERE ..
Lebron will THEN "retire" from the league
and pursue ownership of an NBA team
*LeLasVegasVulcans* 🖖
dont be surprised if Bronny & Bryce
eventually end up on THAT roster 😎
Coming from humble beginnings its always about the money...
KG how is Lebron chasing Kobe when already has Double the finals MVPs, 7k more points and averaged more points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks and was more efficient?
He should have more rings if that's the case
@@TAEMAN197 it doesn’t work like that without shaq Kobe would have 2 rings
He thinks that one chip means all that
@@TAEMAN197how? When he played hall of fame legendary team😮s that beat Kobe.. Overwhelming Gsw that fucked up the league for a few years as an underdog.. he really Only lost that Dallas because he was under the impression that d wade was going to carry him.
@@TAEMAN197 that literally makes no sense
Dennis Schröder is regretting not getting the N80m from Lakers. He tried the market and got N8m. Never leave money on the table.
KG got me dead!! 😂😂
Kg you be cracking me up 🤣 in a good way homie.....Paul you funny AF too. Y'all both be speaking facts though
People really underestimate how much Lebron genuinely likes living in LA, his business empire is here, his kids and family love LA and got settled in and at this stage of his career you want stability esp with your wife who keeps the ship running when you’re not there so you gotta keep her happy
man i would take the 150 m .. who gives a eff about a ring. A ring isn't going to matter in 5 years .. 150 m will.
You sound ignorant 😂😂😂😂😂
@@isaiahfranklin6310u sound naive to the ways of the world … I bet you still believe in the tooth fairy or Santa clause .. 150 million or a ring is only a choice to someone as ignorant AS you . Sports fans like you are so SAD ..Kobe’s parents sold his ringer because a ring can’t feed you. A “ring” can’t keep you clothed or housed …In this world money in your bank account is what matters ..if you lack knowledge or awareness to that fact .. you my friend are the IGNORANT one ..
There are people that lives to be in the books and be immortalized.
@@SammyPeanutTrumpNugget
Lebron is ALREADY in the books
Kobe said it best “If I take a pay cut and we don’t win can I get that money back?”
I agree 100% with PP bkuz one thing for sure is that the NBA is gonna make their Top Dollar so don't short change me and give me all my money .. how about the NBA take a pay cut and give me a 3 year 30 million dollar contract with a 150 million dollar signing bonus.
alll i heard was back and forth "ridder" I was expecting paul to say some XD
Never take a pay cut if you dont have to.
This talking point should be discontinued and completely buried, it’s bad business practice to take less than the market is willing to pay for your service. Players aren’t being paid hundreds of millions over 5 years for a championship, the business of basketball is far bigger than a ring. It’s about the TV deals, the local TV deals, selling out games, blowing up the merchandise, brand impressions and views. If you can increase the value of a franchise and raise the overall net worth of a billionaire than they’re going to offer you what you’re value is within the rules, championship be damned. If there wasn’t a salary cap, Bron would have gotten a crazy contract like Shoehai Ohtani in baseball. NBA superstars are already undervalued.
Imo, the question makes sense only if you have someone ready to sign. It's one thing if the GM comes and tells you "take the mid contract and we get Ant". it's a complete different story if it's "we MIGHT get someone to sign". 😂
I'm not in that position, but Bron is guaranteed a lot of Money for his lifetime and generations to come. He has a lifetime deal with Nike and a lot of businesses that bring him income. That 150 is not gonna make a difference, it's all about just willing to take less while being who you are.
Him still a max player at 39 is insane
Darvin ham is gone. I’ll take a 100 mil and get a good player. Use that 50 mil to go get dame Leonard or KD.
none of that tom brady nonsense. Take the bread. Your actual market value
150. Invest in philanthropy
Can’t lie yall ah be killin the game if yall was dropping videos back to back every game
34 got jt Jordans real one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s always about the dream. We always dreamed of hitting the winning shot way before the money. The dream is everything and includes everything necessary for its accomplishment.
My perspective on taking less is that, If you have 100s of millions in your bank and you ain’t willing to take less to chase championships. Than where is your heart at? Your showing your fans it was never love of the game. I ain’t saying Lebron should take a MLE. But if he took half what he was worth just to accommodate an extra guy. It is a good gamble and it’s a good look with fans. I hope Rudy and Kat have similar thinking and we can somehow keep this whole gang together in Minnesota. It’s about the game first. You 2nd. The money is coming either way. And that’s how legends are built.
Paul P is right. You take dineros.
For 99% of players taking the money is hands down the right choice, but is LeBron playing for money or legacy at this point?
Paul- “Those billionaires go to work, they show up to work”
Them billionaires when they get to work- “alright everyone get back to work”
Paul talking about it doesn't guarantee a ring.. Nothing guarantees you a ring (Unless you're KD going to a 73-9 team that won already). But the point would be to have a much better opportunity to get one and allow the Lakers to have some pieces on his way out
Its hard cuz Legacy Wise if he could get another 2, He could get a statue in LA and join the 6 rings debate. Championships are not guaranteed tho and it all depends on who wants to join.
At the end of the day whatever he chooses it’s his choice and I’m not gonna get mad, but as a LeBron fan for one time in your career sacrifice some money to chase a ring. Remind the league who you are before you leave. Also it won’t shut them all up but it will silence people who think you don’t love your league. I’d love to see the old guys beat up the young guys one last time.
Bron and Bronny should just go to Cleveland and see what happens. Go out in style in your hometown. Browny can be mentored by his dad and Spider.
There is no path to compete for a ring in LA with the Lakers
KG is wild 😂😂😂
Ask the owners to pay the luxury tax. Why does the onus fall on the player(s) to take less
👍
As a Lebron fan never thought I would agree w/ the Truth
bron can literally take 100 for 3, for real for real Ad n bron should take a pay cut get another solid starter and 2-3 players off the bench
Money shouldn't matter to LeBron at this point. He should be doing whatever he can to win a title if that's what's important to him.
Tim Duncan took less in HIS PRIME and he won
If he takes less everyone will say the ring don't count cause he stacked the deck .
Take the bag. We wont even remember the last ring lol. Who cares
LeBron James last Ride 🏀🏀🏀👏 year 22
Most any time we’re talking about an aging player yes, get the money. But this is Lebron….hes an active player who is worth a billion or more. And he’s gonna make another few hundred in endorsements after he retires
Imo he should take a pay cut and make another run…..he’s got both AD and the Lakers boxed in. They’re not winning any more with this team
I don’t think it’s a hard choice specially because the guy already has more than 999 million dollars….if he doesn’t it’s fine….but we’re all gonna understand what his goals were in this last chapter
after retirement
Lebron will be buying a TEAM
until then, he will INCREASE his earnings
I think that LeBron’s career is already solidified enough that another title only contains a push for his GOAT status for #1 over Jordan because he’s doing it so late in his career. It creates a better position for his playing career in the all time great conversation. I don’t think money would do anything positive or negative to his career because a title means more especially now. Let me know what you think on this take!!
The fact it’s taking Lebron 20+ seasons for what someone did in 15 is insane
You put a whole paragraph to say take this -> 💰💰💰. Lmao.
@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570 imagine doing all of this just to be considered the best ever..
At this point like you said… bruh just take the bread and ride off into the sunset
👑 LEBRON 🐐
est. 2016
@@jona1han2k4
Lebron reached G.O.A.T status in 2016
tom brady did it
He can do both. He the goat
You know Lebron is watching the Cavs in the playoffs right now thinking hm. Retire at home, Cavs got a decent team try & keep Michelle or get something for him LeGM style... Weak East? Could be the best of both worlds for him.
Paul just said what I said 😂
If you give Lebron the rookie Phil Jackson. Do you think Lebron would have listened to him? You know Phil made MJ and the Bulls do meditations and yoga? I doubt he would have.
Even if you given Lebron the experienced Phil, I think end of the day if they lost he might blame him. Just my opinion.
Nah with coaches like Phil or Popovich Lebron would be the GOAT no debate. He listened to Spoelstra in Miami 2nd season and won
Steph took less to get KD. What is Paul talking about?
Take a minimum bet and signed with the Nuggets or Wolves
lakers wont be able to sign a star even if lbj took vet min... stupid question, need more info on team salary before getting on this debate
Did bro say “ritter”..lol?!
I am with Paul, get the money, even if he won 2 more and had 6 like MJ there will still be people will say MJ is the GOAT so take $150 M and play it out
Bread
He already got the bag and gone get more when he retire 💯😂
Mofos a Billionaire. He has the 💰.
Thats the mentality of poor people. 150 EMMS is 150 Emms.. in the end of the day Bron can buy as many rings as he wants with an extra 150 emms..
Now he can take that 150 and save a community or put it forth towards something big in life instead of it letting it touch the hands of someone who will misuse it
@@xavierbarnes7885 Shouldn’t you be out protesting something?
You sound like a gen z beta.
@@uncleb7821nah, that’s just intelligent. We’re basically talking 100m in his pocket that he can do stuff with.
Chill bro gotta secure his grea great great great grandkids . Inflation bro😂
"Ritter"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s gonna own team in vegas. Get the money
PP would have had a funny line if he wasn't drunk. It's theown his timing off
Also... LBJ's window to surpass MJ is CLOSED. MJ if he never retired in the middle of his prime would have 8 rings. And He could have picked up his 9th if the Bulls stayed intact for another season for 1999. At the height of MJs career there is NO ONE comparable. The guy literally retired in 93 bc he got tired of winning. He literally got tired of winning.
LeBron should come to the Warriors to full his dream of playing with Curry and still get his bread & maybe a ring.
Brons guna make money for the rest of his life because he is who he is more money won't amplify that. More rings would. Plus I bet he would be happier looking back on his career with more rings
Plus to Paul's point Tim Duncan took less all the time to win same with Tom Brady
what about cleveland??!
What is Kevin Garnett net worth? 120m Kevin Garnett has made over $334 million in is 21 years playing in NBA. This is a great testament to why black athletes need financial literacy, a bird in the hand beats two in the bush any day, you never turn down guaranteed money for a dream.
Take 120, 30 million could help get more help that Bron need
Lebron is still playing to catch Kobe and Jordans 5 & 6 Rings but he doesn't play defense and he turns the ball over ferociously.
Ofc pierce wants the money, he didn't make what bron did. Bron should go Low money for chance of winning, wich is all he should care about. But I doubt he will do that.
look at durants titles with goldenstate, people really dont care about them, nobody talking about durant as being one of the all time greats like they talk about lebron, kobe or steph.
you piggyback to a title too obviously then thats just a tainted ring.
Titles of what? The IST 👀
He's the ONLY MVP in NBA with HISTORY with the most Finals L's of 6 and that's with a LOSING RECORD!
What has that to do with winning 🤦🏽♂️
LeBron is the goat period. Take that god damn money because the Jordan fans and the LeBron haters are never gonna give him his props especially when he gets some real consistent players that don’t score zero points in a playoff game.
Only people with no rings say rings don't matter. If rings don't matter then why play the sport
Lebron has ALWAYS had *multiple goals*
which is why he has both,
MONEY & CHAMPIONSHIPS
Yawn stan
Take care of his kids like he been doing.
Lebrun is going to Sixers
Nah back home to Cleveland 💨
IF LBJ wants a ring he needs to go to the EAST and link up with Celtics
He not gonna win another ring as a number one option at least. He knows that.
I'm not taking no pay cut to save no billionaires no bread
Magic did it
Since when did lefraud care about winning? He only cares about breaking individual records.
Money…💰💰💰
S I M P L E.
When you are a billionaire, why would you care about some money vs legacy?
HAPPYNESS❤
Whatever he wants ? He didn't get robbed like Garnett did.lol
Bron ain't thinking bout none of that imo. He opted out to see if or where Bronny goes.
For people who are tired of Lebron and are accusing him of taking PEDs they sure do talk about him a lot. HE IS YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER ISN'T HE!
Bron wants a ring he chasing history and he wants it with his son
It worked for Steph Curry
why should LeBron want to get a ring on a team where he is not really "the man" anymore moneywise.
you think MJ would take a fraction of what he was worth just for a ring? or kobe? nah, never.
also a ring won by piggybacking won't change peoples perception of LeBron. Those who deem him the GOAT or top 2 all time now would have the same opinion after title number 5. And the LeBron haters would say that he did not really earn the ring since he relied on younger stars. So i say just get your max dollars and ride into the sunset. He done enough
What? 😂😂😂
@@uncleb7821 care to elaborate what it is you dont understand?
Most turnovers in NBA history✔️
Six final losses✔️
Poor free throw shooting✔️
Poor defense ✔️
No signature moves✔️
No leadership skills✔️
No accountability ✔️
I could go on and on, like it’s crazy.. that’s y’all’s king!!! What can he teach anybody, child or adult, imagine lebron’s“ Come fly with me or, lebron’s playground lmaoo.. Never!!
Bron was just in the west conference last year . He goin do the unthinkable. His legacy means to much not only for him . For his fans . He will be back .
TRY AND GET PHIL JACKSON ON BEFORE HE IS GONE
1. So disappointed in Paul Pierce for takin that Klutch money for a few episodes on Undisputed🤦🏽♂️
2. When talkin the goat convo, ima need KG to put more respect on HIS OWN NAME. Stop the 🧢 and stop puttin Bron over KG in the rankings. KG is easily in discussion as best PF of all time. Imagine if KG had Timmy's SPURS squads🤷🏽♂️. Back to Bron...bron has played FOREVER and STILL HASNT GOT THE STATS KG had. Make it make sense america...BRON IS NOT BETTER THAN KG.
Chill bro gotta secure his great great great great grandkids . Inflation bro😂
He’s 39. His career is over no more rings. There’s nothing else he can do just ride off into the sunset.
LBJ worth over 1 billion... he should be bringing in some young killers around him and winning rings
He should take the money and that would be affirmation to the world that he' isn't the true goat
mj would have never taken such a massive paycut just to get a ring.
either he gets the ring as "the man" (also moneywise) or not. thats how i see it.
He’s already a billionaire.. the money is never gonna stop coming in. He should take less money and chase the ring still
Man, I got 4 rings….you also got a $billion😂😂
Lebron will make more money then he'll know what to do with when he retires , just go for another championship
Chasing Kobe???? Kobe not even in the conversation. In fact, Lebron passed Jordan years ago 🤷🏽♂️
Lebron should move-on along with that scrub GM. Most players played better after leaving, so Lebron is a scrub maker.
Come on with the 🧢 besides B.Ingram Kyrie and Kuzma who else doing shit nobody!!
@juanellchapman4545 Kyrie never played for Lakers and the Knicks, and other teams have players that are better after Lebron. Scottie Pippin's son is another. Even if a player makes a game-winning shot, he's taken out of rotation. Lebron, Clutch Sports and the GM needs to be out.
@@jameslavery6216 you most players when they leave LB make up your mind
@@juanellchapman4545 Google former Lakers of the two previous seasons...
@@juanellchapman4545 ... and Kyrie didn't play for the Lakers ... google former Lakers, two previous seasons. You already know.
Take the ring he already got the money.
Absolutely not lol.
