$104 max plus he employed his son. I guess Lakers' focus this season is on the brand and tickets than actually winning.
You are the only person read the news correctly. LA knows they can’t compete in West so they went all in for marketing.
You don't know basketball
Yall bron haters got some serious mental issues 😂😂😂
Then if they try to recruit a superstar again you haters are going to say "look hes trying to build a superteam again to carry him to win a ring"
Average of $52m/year is not a super max. A super max is what Tatum just got (average $63m/year).
Dlo is the happiest person right now, they ain't gonna talk about him being traded for 2months lol
He'll be gone before the trade deadline.
Bronny taking he's spot😂
D lo really played well so the Lakers wouldn’t trade him to see what he could do in the playoffs just for him not to play well in the playoffs so no one would want him during the offseason. He’s an evil genius
@@datsapaddlinstop the cap. When he was needed the most in the playoffs he was nowhere to be found
@@datsapaddlin man had 0 points in a playoff game 😂
Tell me you're throwing in the towel.. without telling me 😂
Yup next 2 years is tanking time.
😂😂😮
N9 george no klay..max
? Did you even read the deal
@@aldohattonduran5227 how is it like that when they still got a decent team lol, there's still the trade team imo
Lmao all that talk about a pay cut. Dude got a max deal instead😂😂.
Lakers didn’t make any moves so he said “F It, yall gotta pay me then”
yeah, we already read that comment. thanks again.
So it was all about the money....
he said he’d take a pay cut IF lakers signed a player… they signed no one so he took the max which is what he said he’d do if they didn’t sign anyone…
He's not worth $52m a year anymore. He's not a top ten player. AD was the best Laker this season.
In other news....water is still wet and I had a blueberry muffin this morning.
I thought your doctor told you watch that weight need to get below 400
same, those blueberry muffins hit hard
@@stevelewczyk4040 hahahha
Water ain't wet brah, what water touches becomes wet.
@MidnightTacoRun that's deep✍️👏
This is very likely Lebron's last NBA contract
Thank God.
You made a typo. You meant to right unlikely
3 more to go my guy. He’s playing until 45
That's a bit sad
Good😅
So it's basically a one year/52 million deal.
It shows that nobody wanted to take the Lakers money to play with Lebron.
Or play with a coach that's never coached or a GM who s not doing great
Because you have the most expectations and lights on you when you play with Lebron, thats why Klay wanted to play somewhere he could just ball
Lakers are a joke ever since they signed his son 🗑️
@@comencme1 or all three😂
What? You’re crazy lebum is the best player ever😂😂😂😂, high IQ ( clearly can’t get other guys to join him), jj is the best coach in the league (lmfao). You’re crazy……
The Los Angeles Lakers today announced they are fully committed to being a joke for the next two seasons! Smfh
that's coming from you clown so don't watch and yet you're here? 🤡🤡
Right😂
No Klay No Paycut
Excatly Rob had several targets he got Excatly zero of them
ROFL!!!!
Has it occurred to you that maybe he didn’t want to play with LeBron n Lakers? 😂
@@brendanwalsh826 He literally said it was between the Mavs or Lakers 😂. He just picked the better deal stop being messy lol
Lakers were never getting Klay ...the whole LeBron is taking a pay cut was propaganda to make LeLiar look better
Bron said, " Give me my moNEY"!😂😂😂😂
He wasn't never gonna take a paid cut
@@DJ_-Well Klay didn’t want to come in LA or any of the FA targets so Bron is like good more money for me!

@@nickh4676 he is 40.
@@hlinville6034yea so? He’s still a top 3 player in the NBA. Look at Tatum 314 million for 5 years that’s almost 63 million a year bruh. And Lebron is way better than Tatum at this stage
@@hlinville6034 That 40 year old dude brings in 9 figures annually for the lakers still. Tickets always sold out top 5 in jersey sale etc. I say underpaid, really.
The Lakers were the 9th-10th best team in the West last year, and that was with LeBron and AD playing 70+ games
They won't be that healthy, two years in a row, at their age, and even if they were, they didn't get any better
And they have a new coach to deal with, so expect plenty of growing pains the first half of the year
The Lakers will only be noteworthy this season for their nepotism, and how many time Bronny can ride that bench.
You nailed it on the head
I think they were a top 3 team. I mean they had defending champs denver beat by 20 points in the first half the whole series. Thats gotta mean something.
@@user-gj6yb2qc7e Actually, it means nothing. The only reason they beat the Niggets once is the Nuggets got complacent and lazy. They got bored.

looking forward to Tatum being face of the league😂 enjoy lebron, KD and Curry while it lasts buddy
Max contract for a 39 year old player in decline. LeBron owns this franchise.
Who's on a decline? Not goat James.
He should’ve taken a klay deal
Demar is waiting on the Clippers
He's going to want 4 years too
Demar should go to the Clippers to replace PG13
52 million and no trade clause, Lebron signing his own checks now
He’s always had a no trade clause this is nothing new
@@stkbloc9717 no he hasn’t stop lying
So he turns down a $51.4 million option and says he’s willing to take a cut to get someone to their roster and that didn’t work so he’s getting a extra $600k more for first year as $51.4 wasn’t enough lol
Short bus shorty
They didn't add anyone. FO fail.
Did they add anyone? No...then no pay cut
Owner isn't taking a payout and no big talent added. Pay the man that packs the seats then.
Why take a pay cut when they clearly wasnt getting anyone
Lmao all that talk about a pay cut. Dude got a max deal instead😂😂😂
Because the lakers didn't sign anyone, so he took the max
@@Ikari0304Cause the Lakers front office is shitty 😂
You want to criticise dude for not giving up 20mil? Ok
Are you dumb. He took a Max cause they didn’t sign anybody
It's the broke people that always want someone to take a pay cut
They running it back 😂😂😂

@@mushshrap6471 wow so original, and what thats supposed to insult me or something ya trendy bozo?
This shows you that players don't want to play with James smh. The Lakers never had a problem getting players to come there.
Not really. Lakers had plenty of slumps of not signing great players
Like AD right? Or Caruso? Or KCP? Or Russ? Bruh you already have your agenda but imma try anyway. You know why the Lakers couldn’t get Klay? Cause they never made a true offer. They told him "if you come we will offer you 18mil" that’s not an offer. If you want players you clear your cap and show them the money.
Also Bron declined his option to clear cap space and for the team to have money. But who did they sign?
Facts
Sir you should be less concerned with LeBron and more focused on getting a better barber or going completely bald
Expectations are to high when playing with lebron.. and the lights are to bright ,everyone can’t handle that pressure
When has Lebron ever took a pay cut y'all 😂😂😂
With Miami during the Big 3 era. After that, never again lol
Miami
Miami dummy
In Miami, kid.
Miami fool
Lakers got their man!
wow
AND his son… 🤦
And the priority is winning…?
Work till 67, you gonna get full social security.
How could a Front Office have AD & LBJ and for years u still dont know how to built a strong roster around them!! Are such bums and amatures, but delusional Lakers fanbase keep sleeping! 😑🤦
They only let Bontemps on TV in July when the main crew is on vacation
Rob should be fired
I agreed Lakers should hired Bob Myers
You mean Lebron should be fired
Love people blaming a guy who has very little power and has to answer to Lebron and pulled of a amazing trade deadline in 2023 to turn the team around that season
@@UnfrostedPopTartMan keep on crying casual
@@BDAthleticInsider why? is he an employee?
Lakers still think they can get passed Denver with that squad.

That means we're stuck with LeGM's BS for 2 more years. Been a Laker fan since i was 10 years old and I've never been more disappointed
3 years
@@arguseyed9982 it's a two year deal
I hope Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, and Vanderbilt stay healthy and ball out. If you think about it. With these guys back we are adding 3 guys to the roster this year. Lets Goooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Is this sarcasm?
Gotta make sure Bronny got his playing time😂😂
LeBron being on the Lakers is not breaking any part of the internet ESPN...
Not giving an almost 40 year a 100mil contract for TWO years is stupid even if it is LeBron
Bronny gonna be the starting Guard LOL 😂
They better start his boy or give him the most minutes off the bench or else Lakers will feel the wrath of clutch sports!
@@reignyell3614 well That's the plan of LeBron and Clutch that is why Reddick got hired no decent coach will play Bronny this year
Imagine saying you want to win a championship (with millions already in the bank) then turning around to sign this type of contract which completely hampers your team’s options..
Do you geeettt
That's really what happened though, because they couldn't get anyone on their list to join the team LOL. Lebron wasn't going to take a cut just to sign more bench players. He wanted to take a pay cut for an impact starter.
C’mon really? Have you been asleep the last several days? He told the FO he’d take less, much less ($20+M) if they could sign a noteworthy player. Pelinka got nothing done, and one by one, all the top free agents were signed by other clubs. They couldn’t even sign Valencuinus, who took less than the MLE. Lebron was clear…get someone good and I’ll take $20 million (let that amount sink into your head) less to help you make the deal work. The front office failed (again), so he took the max. Go be critical of someone else. Typical Lebron hater who goes off of emotion rather than facts.
Brown highest paid. Tatum then got more. Dumb take
Nobody wanna play wit Bron
Thank goodness! That means I won’t be watching for another 2 years! Awesome 😎👍🏼
So basically no championship for the Lakers for at least the next two seasons
Lebron will pull the same circus move in 2 years when he hit free agency and bryce get drafted to the league and lebron and bronny might follow his team
Witnessing the empathy and understanding exchanged is heartening, restoring faith in humanity.🔥
Bro is taking up 35% of their salary cap.. this is about to be the 2013-14 Lakers all over again 😂
Daam. Last time LeBron passed on DeMar, Russell Westbrook was getting booed at home games while DeMar was starting for the allstar game. Not saying he’s still that but he’s never had the benefit of being the third option and one could only imagine all the open mid range shots he would’ve been splashing. Plus he lead the league in mins last year and everybody knows LeBron and AD ain’t playing no 82. You can forget that. Also DeMar is good in the 4th which we also know the Lakers desperately need. He would’ve been good with Bronny like he was with Ayo, especially with Bonny looking to separate himself a little bit. Now besides his dad, who can he chop it with… DLo snitching as? Austin Reeves? C’mon. And just the motivation DeMar would’ve gotten by being home in LA would’ve definitely been a benefit. Not DeMar’s #1 fan but I know he’s a good dude and I know he could’ve helped the Lakers out. Definitely as much as Klay, if not even more. Might not hit 3’s but he’s definitely more consistent. He definitely wouldn’t be getting benched. Just saying. Now I hope he goes to the Clippers just to see how it would play out.
WOW.. that's the highest father-son duo contract ever.. well deserved Bronny.
This guarantees that they're a play in team, at best
I thought he was gonna say "Just 6 days after drafting Bronny James, Lebron has signed a new deal!" 😂😅
No trade clause plus player option in year 2 of a 2 year Max deal is crazy work. It's like the Lakers don't care about having any options or power over their own roster. Good luck JJ!
Either Lebron has incriminating photos of Rob Pelinka, or someone is trying to go into business with him after he retires from basketball, that is the only excuse for all this nuttiness
LeSalty by not taking a paycut.
Lakers used to be really good during offseason signing free agent. These days, they are known for signing inexperience coach and drafting most hyped up 2nd round pick.
It's going to take a miracle for the lakers to win
He is worth the money. He has earned it. I wish more money was available when Mike and past legends played be because they could have received the same financial reward.
The last 2 years of his career will be interesting.
Lebron and Rich Paul now working on getting Bryce and Savannah on the roster for next year.
He couldve done the funniest thing and said Cleveland im coming home and left bronny in LA 🤣
We winning it all this season adding JJ will be game changer
🤣🤣🤣
Winning In Season Tournament you mean? 😅
You can’t really believe that they gone be getting cooked
@user-zu2ri4ki6l i think we have talent to do that,also we got to WCF without a coach basically so if JJ builds a great system we have everything to win
@@Ttt23594 what talent?
Overpay Lakers did the same with Kobe…obviously they didn’t learn
This isn’t Kobe buddy. LeFraud James
Kobe was winning championships, LeGM is tanking the franchise
Lakers is a horrible franchise since Jerry Buss kids took over the team
This is what the Lakers do; they show loyalty to their stars. Other stars see this which allows the Lakers to reload for contention every handful of years. Obviously YOU didn't learn.
@mushshrap6471 this isn't loyalty, this is prioritizing lebron's jersey sales over winning championships and running a successful franchise
This is why Tim Duncan is the GOAT, because when all the other players pretend about winning, Duncan actually sacrificed his own wealth to win more titles. Something Lebron would never really do
Breaking news,nobody's coming to play with team LeBron 😅😅😅
Bron has got Jeannie out of her vase. Bron be in her don't be amazed.

Lebron not gonna let you suck him bro
You have a point😂😂😂I forgot they played on that team and lebron packed em up lmao😂😂😂
Kobe and Lakers definitely got flamed for that contract - and the irony is, Kobe did take a paycut with that deal.
the funniest part is half of them are laker fans lmao. man we really do have the worst fans in the league fr
They just simply hate LeBron. All facts and logic go out the window for them.
i think he waited to see if the lakers ofifce signed a great player before he signed that max deal..on the other hand, $50+ million a yr is insane..if i owned the lakers i would of let him go and get 2 maybe 3 players who can put up somewhat similiar numbers at a lower cost
Where's the paycut?
40 years old and still getting max contracts🐐if he’s not the goat I don’t know who is
MJ duh
Thank u
My sucked as he got older and tried to come back
Oldest player and still Flopping , he ain’t GOAT
MJ. And Im a die hard laker fan at that. Face it, Lebron is special... But MJ is the greatest of all time. Also, I'm happy for anyone that gets 100 mill contract. Guy deserves it whether you like him or not. Its business. But MJ is the goat.
The king is back 👑
Glad it's only a two year deal. Would've been better if it was only 1 year
It is only one he will opt out next year or retire
why are they paying this dude the max?
Lebron can opt out next year and sign a bigger max deal with the new CBA and higher salary cap space
Declining his player option to sign a team friendly deal costing the team 600k more a year should really help bring in some reinforcements
So I guess they weren't able to find another player to sign with the Lakers.
Deal includes a “do as i say” clause.
So who’s gonna be at fault when they in 7th place?
We just need a real center honestly so AD can roam.
"This team isn't going to be able elevate this roster" ...."yeah but you still have LeBron James though" 😅😅😅 The ignorance & Idiocy smh. I can't wait until LeBron leaves the Lakers. It's been hard rooting for my team

This happens when a player is the ring leader of a circus! They needed a veteran head coach that commands respect.
Ironically, LeBron has rarely ever had a veteran coach his entire career. He always has some young unproven coach on his team that will bend the knee. It's no coincidence.
They got a better coach. JJ is underrated in my opinion. I think everything is perfect.
