Lebron is already wealthy and famous. Playing with his son is unbelievable but imagine winning a championship with him. How can anyone put a price on that?
BIG FACTS. THATS GOING ALL IN...
ABOUT TIME THIS “BILLIONAIRE” thinks TEAM instead of padding his POCKETS 💰 💴
it’s too bad , it’s too little TOO LATE!!
All these years WASTED for Lebron not to be giving a LA Lakers hometown discount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@xavierbradford4646it’s too late, Lebron SELFISH AZZ should done this since DAY #1 in a Lakers uniform!!
Like Tom Brady thinking TEAM first !!
@@OhtaniLADODGERSIt’s funny people like you are still bringing up Tom Brady when Brady was married to a super model who made more money than him. Of course he had no problem taking pay cuts. 😂😂😂
Not only paying with his son, he has a chance to win a RING with his son. That would be the real kicker as you mentioned. That is basketball history.
Get that center Rob!
🔥🔥🔥
Who do you have in mind?
@@JustMy2Pennies, Valančiūnas, Robert Williams III or Drummond.
Kevin love !!
@@strictlyhardrap1688no
Thanks bron
Thanks Bronny 😉
lakers giving bron everything he deserves. this is how franchises should have been treated long time ago
You’re corny, you see lebron willing to take a paycut and you immediately go to hating, weirdo Kobe fan that Kobe wouldn’t even like
Get off your knees bruh!
We should have done that with Kobe, fuck this
Hilarious. The Lakers will be 6th seed at best 10th seed at worst. Most likely a play-in team again. They don't have the $ or assets to attract a meaningful player that moves the needle. No star player is coming to play for 5-11 million on the MLE for a coach with 0 exp and a 40 yr old who dominates the ball. The Lakers don't even need another star, they need consistent role players, they need shooting and rim protection. Even if the Lakers somehow get a decent player Laker fans in their delusion will claim "The League is done! We winning the chip! It's ova!" Just like y'all did when LeGM traded for Russ. How'd that work out again? 😂
@ddh540 Get off your hate bro. 😏👋
Better not hear lakers fans hating on bron now
Best believe they still will. So many toxic a$$ mofo’s in this community. Straight up Dallas Cowboys 2.0! Effin 🤡’s
facts
They still will. They're so entitled it's annoying
They will. No matter what he does, he will always get hate from many Lakers fans simply because they kobe. It's stupiddddd, but as a los angeles native, Lakers fans are like gang members. They have hostility.
They don't forget that kobe fukked up the 4 peat (if you don't agree then look at the interview from pistons players about their strategy to defeat the Lakers because they know they couldn't stop shaq) and he threatened to leave the Lakers too. All this historical revisionist crap is annoying
I was but not now and going forward, he is king James.
It’s obvious he would take a pay cut to not waste anytime and the opportunity to win a championship with his son. He knows that’s the only way so why would he let that opportunity slip away by taking money and not get a good team together for his last years and first year with his son. It’s not like he needs money either, money ain’t a problem for him and his last couple of years in the NBA all he cares is about playing with his son and winning a championship. His career is already finished and has nothing left to accomplish other than win another championship and with his son.
Needa see him win so we get a Lakers parade since we didn’t get one when the Lakers won in 2020.
Take it out your mouth bruh.

Demar doesnt fit the roster. Picking up Derozan would be like re-signing WB
DeRozan is a better shooter than Westbrook especially at the midrange area..
westbrook back would be amazing
The roster don't fit the roster 😂 what you talking bout..
@@boortsy12 Lakers did Westbrook dirty
@@rondeezy661no he did himself dirty shooting bricks
P13,Klay , Tobias, KCP, Miles bridges ,demar would be the only players
You know what you saying
klay sux, PG13 has a lot of mileage, kcp is a fad, and bridges is a PR nightmare. derozan is good butt doesn't fit. pls get Valuncianus thx.
@@doc-vg9lqbridges was the victim in the situation, idiot… he planning on leaving his crazy ex and she tried to ruin him with fake allegations which have been disproven, otherwise he would not be currently in the league
So funny that Laker fans really believe Klay, PG, DeRozan would be joining the Lakers to play for around 10 million a season. Klay just turned down 24 mil per from the Warriors. PG opted out of 49 mil. DeRozan is making 42 mil this season. The Lakers do not have the $ for any of this even with a Bron pay cut. Bron would have to play for the minimum.
@@roboninja3194 i think Klay wants to start and he knows he wont be for GS next year. A lot of these guys have already been paid so there is the slight chance they might play for less to get a ring however unlikely that may be. especially with the Bulls blowing things up.
Lakers need to upgrade center position, sign Isaiah Hartenstein 7'1
Thank you!!! Isiah Hartenstein was great for the Knicks last year and was guarding bugs very well
@@pixplayeditz LMAO you two are such idiots. THe only reason he is possibly leaving NYK s bc he cant get more than 4years $78M there, and you are talking about him taking the fucking MLE for the lakers instead of getting more years more money more guaranteed money where he is on the team he loves who are better than the lakers hahahaha. USE YOUR BRAINS
i would actually be ecstatic about that
Out of range, he easily can get 18 millions a year.
@@maxcady5287i just wosh bron would take a bigger paycut like only make 20 mill because he doesnt need the money
We need a big/center desperately. Why would we add yet another wing????? Unless we are trading some guys for a center
The conversation is because LeBron taking less for mle except candidate free agents. What center is worth the mid level? We can get a center for less
exactly. people talking about 2 and 3's when the roster already has more than enough of them but no real 5.
How many BIG CENTERS R OUT THERE LOL
We got enough wings we should focus on 1 or to centers
They have zero 3 and D wings outside Lebron who is playing 4 they absolutely need a 3 and D wing
That would be huge! Wonder who we could target. Maybe KCP?
fuck no he literally opted out of the yr with the still West favorite Denver Nuggets, STRICTLY BC the amount of money (which is already more than LAL would have), wasnt enough for him to opt in and to try and negotiate to get DEN to pony up! LOL but yeah he will take ven less than he would have made to go to the freaking Lakers, on a shorter contract, where he wont even have full bird rights by the time hes a FA to cash oin on his final good money contract hahahah. Just ridiculous
Out of range. He’s demanding 20-25 a year.
@@grapeape1965 he's not even that good. he's basically a role player who had a good year or decent last 2 years. before that nobody even cared about him. he's a current fad like Hartenstein.
I'll believe LeBron is taking a pay cut when I see it. If he does great but if he doesn't then that's fine too. DeRozan is not a two-way player. Pelinka needs to add two-way players with size, athleticism, toughness, and youth for next season.
Why do people think LeBron is so money hungry? He’s just rich, it’s kinda different.
👍🏾
DeRozan isn't the answer.
Of course he will he's a Fkn Billionaire & Then Some😂
Derozan is not two way. But he’s a top shooter in the league and we need shooting. But he’s good on defense as in better than we have. He would be a great addition
I love Myles bridges…I wanted Knicks to Sign him but they got the other Bridges…Lakers should definitely sign him, he’s instantly your 3rd best player consistently, put him with hachimura as your wings and AR as point Guard, and thas a big squad
then he stalks his ex again and their season is over
I think two likely options atleast on the free agent market that we could target for full MLE is Jonas Valuncunis and Demar Derozan. I think since we can use full MLE in a trade to there's probably a good chance that the Lakers look to trade DLO and also use the full MLE in trade back to gst a player in return that we might not have without MLE.
Rn I'd say Jonas is someone I'd give it too. The biggest need for is another big it was obvious during the season and then during playoffs that we desperately need another big that play against other big teams like nuggets and timberwolves. Jonas would hold his own defensively against Jokic making things tough on Jokic especially with AD lurking as well and Jonas is also someone who can score offensively and is capable of hitting the 3 at times. I think either him or targeting someone like Brook lopez via trade is what I'd consider.
Demar is more talented especially offensively and can be that third option for us and a solid defender when he's locked in. My problem with Demar is that the fit would be awkward as he's not a 3 point shooter so it's gonna hurt the floor spacing. He's got more upside obviously and is someone who can get 25- 30 milliion a year from a bunch of teams i know he said in a podcast recently when asked is that he'd consider taking a pay cut for a year to play for a championship and him playing for his hometown laksrs would be a dream but again fit wise I'm not sure.
Id be curious in the trade market how we can use it bc we will have more options via trade
Lakers should take Jonas. We need a solid big to backup AD. Jonas is an experienced big who can get you 10/10 in 25 mins and bang with the other heavy centers. This will help AD and keep him fresh and sharp to make consistent midrange jumpers and sometimes 3's and help out on defense without tiring himself. We know it worked with McGee and Dwight. Jonas and Wood with Hayes to cover any injuries and rests.
Playing with two big dudes nowadays doesn't work... look at Wolves against Mavs. Gobert and Kat struggled. The only team can do that due to skills are Turner and Siakam of Pacers.
he's a giant too. he's a really underappreciated player.
@maxcady5287 cause Rudy is liability for offence and defence, he is not better defender and offensive player than AD. KAT is better offensively than JV but JV is better on getting rebounds which laker need. So if you compare KAT and robert to AD and JV you are fool mate. AD and JV is perfect fit and in the closing Time AD will be at 5 same like 2020 season.
@@binayathapa4046 I agreed and disagreed at the same time, lol.
@@binayathapa4046 Rui can play 2-5 and he's had more than a few 30 pt games when he was the #1-2 option between the lakers and Wiz. he also made just about every shot he took the year before last. so i dont know how u can say he's an offensive liability and he's a solid defender based on his size and maneuverability alone. i love JV so i'm not going to argue with that.
We need a big athletic center.
Bridges or Demar sounds amazing
PG that’s it. PG is an athletic wing, has playoff experience, can create his own shot, plays good defense, can score at an elite level and can play off the ball. If you can’t get PG, I’d settle for Klay. Klay has championship pedigree, plays off ball, can score at an elite level, he’s not the same defender he once was but he plays defense. Outside of those two, you can argue Tobias could be just as good of a fit as Klay, but outside of those caliber of players and a stretch big, nothing else is really moving the needle imo.
Great analysis. I would thrown in Zach Lavine as a very last resort with retrospect to PG.
klay is terrible lol. and there aren't enough shots to go around if they get PG13 or Derozan
@@doc-vg9lq what’s your suggestion/build to improve this team?
@@icecoldac3 they need a big so they dont get dominated down low. Wood is so soft and frail and Hayes is too young and inexperienced. outside J's are wishy washy with players year to year too. Rui and AR were great shooters the year before last. they're also deep at the 2 and 3 so i dont know why people are trying to get more of those positional players. unless u plan on playing lebron at 4 and AD at 5. i dont get why people want KCP back either he's just a fad right now.
I like Klay alot but I'm scared he would get hurt . hopefully we figure it out
Trevor has been working double time, not even OT this summer!
I say he takes the pay cut build that roster so he and his son can get a ring!
Whatever we do we gotta trade Vincent. He gives us nothing
I hear u but he was hurt and needs to reestablish himself as a good player to raise that trade value
Options:
1. Brogdon, KPJ
2. Bogdan, KCP, Melton, Klay
3. Patrick Williams, Hunter, Grant, Demar
4. Oubre, Bridges, Bey
5. Jalen Smith, Goga, Drummond, Harshtein, Carter Jr
All two way guys. And can play alongside Bron and Reaves.
Brogdon, prone injury player. Last 3 years in RS, played 142 out of 246 games. Last season 39 with blazers. To risky for 23 millions..
KCP, Klay, Harstenstein out of range. KCP and Klay, easily to get 25 a year. Harstenstein around 18.
Melton, Bey, Bridges, Oubre, jalen Smith could be a reality for the full MLE.
For a little more of the minimum wage: Goga and Drummond.
Carter Jr, what are you going to give for him? Magic interested? He's their best center.
Hunter, too expensive. He only shoot static threes, he's 20 and more salary is too risky.
Patrick Williams, RFA. Market value around 15 millions.
I dont know who is KPJ.
Sadly this is not 2k :(
@@maxcady5287😂😂😂😂😂damn how u broke that down was insane 😂😂😂
@@maxcady5287i could see klay joining the lakers on the mle as a fu to the warriors
I don’t want any of them. Maybe mvp tho
@@markpeckii7493 Fu? Whats fu? Klay is gonna sign his last "big" contract. He knows he won't get that much in the next two years.
If he does that, he's officially a Laker legend!
My main concern with the lakers is backcourt defence, then a big. None of these free agents wow me enough
Yes! Exactly!
I dunno why paul george cant say hey I go to the lakers you get dlo rui gabe and 2 firsts or I walk to 76ers for nothing maybe balmer says ahh nothing is fine who knows
Thing shaping up for the Lakers but market is meh.
@@jayrev3413 if we could get a kcp and a big I feel like that’s all we would need
It's clear how much effort goes into the content. It really shows.
Trading DLo for Vucevic is just opening a hole at the point guard position and losing a great 3 point shooter. I don't think Redick or Bron would be happy with that. Almost feel like Klay would like to put a Lakers jersey on to join AD and play for his dad's old team. He would likely have a bounce back year with Redick's coaching style and he'd make a bunch off endorsements in LA vs Orlando. If they trade DLo they need to replace his shooting and playmaking. Every team has a great guard.
Lebron can play for free at this point, he made his money.. take a pay cut!..
U guys are funny. Gabe Vincent and our other additions last year were all hurt. When healthy we'll be fine. Relax
He’s doing what Kobe should’ve done took a cut so the lakers could add better talent after 2010
Yeah ; Comes With the Territory .
We need players that will put us over the top in not trading dlo and picks for no cam Johnson 🤦🏾♂️ like huuuh
Cam Thomas would be better than Cam Johnson
Bron will be printing money for the rest of his life, taking the pay cut is a great idea.
Miles bridges would be perfect he is young athletic and big body
I’d be all about Mile Bridges !
If they could get past the off court stuff, bridges would be a solid pickup - would like to see Richards as well!
i think we going to see a package trade for incentive trade offer for some teams to take on our salary.
LAKERS should trade for both Myles Turner and Marcus Smart
Lebron: thank you for drafting Bronny, let me help you help me 😉
what was the opt in amount $ for lebron?
Demar was also at the Kendrick show with Lebron. Wonder if they talked 🤔
Matt who is your pg
Is this a repost??
The one earlier was live..then he did a repost.
I cut out the beginning where my mic wasn't on. YT used to let you just edit a part out of a video, now for some reason it reposts it as a whole new video.
@@LakersNationCool cool
Depends on how much of a pay cut
I too believe that LeBron will take the pay cut to get a championship team.
With the utter nonsense Lakers Nation is bringing up and the Lakers are reportedly looking at, we'd only be a lock as a playoff team if LBJ takes 0 dollars. LOL
Let's say we get DeMar and Valanciunas. They are practically of zero use to us. DeMar is certainly going to be massively better than Reaves, but he's not a shooter, so we'll have a clogged paint again. At the same time the more important thing is that he is so expensive, that there will be no wings added besides our rookie. And to get there Rui is gone and either Vando or Reaves and both of them would be ideal for their respective roles OFF THE BENCH. Val is going to get ran off the court if he ever gets on it anyway. Career kill move for him to even come here. The end result will be that Val will be in instead of Hayes, DeMar will score more and spread the floor less and be better than Reaves on defense, but the bench will be almost empty as a result. The advantage you gain there will be lost with no Vando and Rui coming off the bench. Zero sum game imo.
It's like not a single Lakers person knows anything about basketball at all. Sorry Jerry West, rest in peace. We the fans failed you. You were the last one who knew what a lineup was and how they work over here.
If they can get a decent 3D dude for the MLE, would be great. They don't need more offense i think. They need stoppers. We need a center, YES but thats gonna be by trading. We already have Hayes and Wood.
Trevor, you and Daniel are unbelievable. It’s like you don’t think women can also be Lakers fans. Really Miles Bridges??
Lol get out of here
He has basketball talent and will be in the league so.. Lakers going to handicap themselves.. I dont know maybe..
DID WE NOT LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKE WITH WESTBROOK??!! DEMAR IS A HORRIBLE FIT, THE BALL MOVEMENT WOULD BE EVEN WORSE WITH HIM, JJ REDDICK SAID HE WANTS THE TEAM TO MOVE THE BALL WAY MORE, HE ALSO SAID HE WANTS TWO WAY PLAYERS, DEMAR IS NOT A TWO WAY PLAYER, HE CANT SHOOT THE 3 AND HE CANT DEFEND THE OTHER TEAMS 1ST OR SECOND BEST PLAYER, OUR DEFENSE WOULD BE HORRIBLE, YOU GUYS ARE NOT LEARNING
Thank you! Lakers need to stop name chasing and start skill chasing. JJ’s a very good evaluator of talent. I hope they ask for his input.
Lebron is not taking a pay cut for max Christie
Bravo to LeBron James for thinking of the team. Is there a free agent out there that could make a difference to propel us to that championship level?
LAKERS trade for Marcus Smart and Myles Turner!!!!!
I would not mind getting those guys at all. Not sure the money works but they’d solve some problems.
You skipped over KCP? No 1 2 way player on this list, but likely he'll get paid and would he come back?
He is the goat 🐐
Make Sean Davis the coach n Trevon the GM immediately
Yes I know
Keith is my spirit animal
To make salary match you have to make some trades like Austin Reeves, DLO etc
I wouldn't take a pay cut. Lebron farewell tour will generate 100s of million dollars for the lakers and NBA. Pay that man what he's worth!!
Facts. Oh he gonna set his contract up to where he gets his money back when he gets ready to leave
Everyone is talking about D'LO, but AR didn't exactly do shit in the playoffs. D'LO helped move the Lakers to the seventh seed. How often did AR score twenty or more points?
We need a physical center and someone who is a 2-way player who can guard the best player on the other team and can shoot. For instance, Dwight howard like and a Kcp. We can't put Lebron, AR, or DLo to lockdown defend. RUI got lost on defense in the Nuggets series. Vando is unable to stretch the floor in the playoffs.
DeMar DeRozan does not open up the floor for the Lakers in my opinion. They should just see what happens with D’Angelo Russell during the season and look to trade him by the deadline if he isnt panning out
But he is a consistent scorer though and shows up to play
No he needs to gone before season starts because we did that shit last year and said the same thing just to keep him and him to stink it up again in the playoffs need to be relieved of him because he’s moody and not serious basketball player so trade him now and have a fresh team
Lakers won't make the playoffs with this roster. Everyone in the west is getting better and we're gonna try and run back last years average team
🎯 Derozan crowds our roster even more. If we clear some players out maybe.
@@HunchoMonnjust like Westbrook was a dog and would carry us through the regular season so LeBron could rest right? Do you hear what you’re saying? It’s 2024, derozan will not work bro.
Give Derozan the MLE and trade Gabe Vincent for Nick Richard’s.
Wow. Screw it then, get PG or Mitchell
That's the way to to try and win a championship go lakers
I don't like any of these players you mentioned. Our main priority is a wing that can defend and shoot 3. None of those guys fit the bill, ie Derozan, TB, Miles Bridges, Klay Thompson. We also need an athletic PG that can play defense and a big body center that can take the load off of AD. None of that fits the bill here guys. What are we doing?
Gary Trent
Miles bridges doesn't fit the Bill? Harris? Both are clear clear upgrades over Rui..
@@hilamadventures4060I think we should trade with jaaz , they say they are willing to trade John collins and Kessler, who can be great fit with laker. Laker need big body who can defend and rebound.
I'll believe it when I see it!
Imagine if he played for the vet minimum.
It wouldnt change anything.. Save jeannie some money is all
DeRozen... He's a good scorer but we need a two-way player for the full MLE!
Best all in move is Dlo, Rui, wood- picks(‘29, ‘31, unprotected 27) for Lauri and Sexton. Regardless of what Lebron does this helps now and in the future. Sell out for Lauri. Sexton, Reaves, LBJ, Lauri, AD - gabe, Vando, JHS, Knecht, Bronny, Hayes, reddish, Lewis- depending on what bron does you would fill the last spot with MLE or max and min.
That’s cool but who’s the right targets available
Not only for the mle but for the buyout market also.
This shows he’s trying to win a ring again. Especially with his son. He’ll do it. He’s determined
I truly think it will be Derozan! He wants to be home and California is LIT right now!! THEY NOT LIKE US
He rejected 2 year 80mil from the Bulls
soodook bhei. I laughed with / at matt's reaction, for 5 minutes at least.
He should of said that at the end of the season instead of this count down mystery stuff he do every time he becomes a free agent. Rob better do something fast before all the Players are off the board and Signed
Can we get klay and will it be a good fit
Bridges was an exception his contract was excellent
With all they’ve got now, they need a 7.1ft plus center. I would NEVER understand why they let go of McGee, never would.
About time he thought of that! It should have been a no-brainer imho, him and AD!
I think best bet is if we can ask Klay to take the MLE and then give him a player option 2nd year so he can opt out and resign him to a bigger and longer contract. Then we use Dlo, Gabe Rui vando 2 first to trade for a big name star to free up rosters
A good center to help AD, and maybe get back Dennis Schroder for gabe Vincent? Just an idea…
Now my question, what are the Lakers are planning to do with Taurean Prince and Spencer Dimwiddie? Since both said they like to stay with the Lakers...
That’s why I don’t get these people crying over the Bronny James signing. It gives Lebron an ENTIRE new reason to be motivated to be even more locked in to win a chip. Do you guys really think Lebron wants to leave the league without giving his son the absolute best shot at winning a chip before he retires? With or without the pay cut look for Lebron to be absolutely locked in this season.
Agreed,and honestly who cares which player is the lowest paid on the roster?
Lakers are low key in a GREAT position to be STACKED next season!!!
How awesome will it be if Bron/Bronny win a title together???!!!

DeMar DeRozan, Donovan Mitchell, Lauri Markkenan, Chris Paul and Klay Thompson
DeRozen HAS to be that guy! But then we have to get a good piece for Gabe, JHS, Christie, Rui and Cam - wishing Lauri but that may be a stretch.
The ken and friends concert is all i gotta say. Demar and lebron had a lot of time to talk
Don't get me wrong, DeRozan isn't a bad addition necessarily, but it doesn't make us a championship team.
Im over here like Miles Bridges at the same time!
Right on. That's what he needs to do for the Lakers and his son to get another top player n ring. N don't get rid of knectt Right on... Please share...
155 to 159 sets training is hard
get Valuncianus, Derozan, or Harris pls. Do not go after PG13, Klay, or Hield thx.
the idea of trading dlo to sign Tobias Harris is nasty work
Do we have a CENTER yet? Lol
I would of picked DJ Burns @ 55 over Bronny. I'm not sure what L.A is doing but we will see!..
Minimum Vet if he really wants to help the franchise win another championship.
