Fans ask the players to take pay cuts, but never ask owners to go over the cap and pay the tax.
Bron isn't a max player anymore. He was gassed in the playoffs in round 1 and can't play consistent defense anymore.
@@upfulsoul826gassed and still either the first or second best player on his team ever playoff game it’s not just about winning it’s about selling tickets too still a business too Lebron brings a lot of money
@@dolphin_fed743 not either, just second best player, but not even the best second player. he scores but that destroys the flow and he dont play defense. he gotta retire.
The Lakers do pay the tax lol. It's not for the team to get under the cap its so they can pay better players who don't have lebron's off court revenue streams that can't afford to take less on an nba deal.because they aren't billionaires like Lebron
@@mserikatodoh you were not watching the games, zero chance
Love Ocho learning the game of basketball. Good for you Ocho
Ikr he"s doing a good job!!!
I remember when Kobe didn’t take a pay cut and everyone called him selfish and blamed him for the Lakers not being able to get pieces
Say it louder for the ones in back
Yup that’s how it works Lebron gets excuses made for him, Kobe gets the hate. Which is why I think it’s funny people try to bring up Kobes MVPs when trying to compare
Even if that’s true, lebron has taken a pay cut before when many players at the apex of their body/career wouldn’t
Scream it one more time plz!!!!!
This got nothing to do with Kobe lol nice try tho
I'm not mad at Bron, get all you can while you can.
You damn right LeBron should get everything he deserves for himself and his family.
😂 hes already got 1.5 billion dollars. Even max contract is chump change to him at this point. He should take a pay cut and get some good players.
I'm constantly thinking about how to raise my rates. "Pay cut" is definitely not in my vocabulary.
Anyone else have the worst day, listen to Nightcap and automatically feel better?
Real
No
Every time These 2 Are My Thereapist
Rell can never look bad bruh had hit the jackpot lol
Ocho basically had his choice lol you’re shocked?
@@jasonphillips7960kinda. Cuz the kids. But they are all grown now
yea, she’s naturally pretty and seems down to earth.
Weirdo
He might take a pay cut it it means they'd need room for Bronny.
Unc got quotes for days 😂😂😂
This show is one of one. Love this Pod. Thanks, Unc and Ocho.
Yeesssirrrrr. Dropp off the hoohaw ladies 😂😂Mondays n thurzz lmfao
Shannon and ocho talking to chat like streamers is so funny. I love it
OCHO PLEASE DON'T CRY😂😂😂
Monday’s and Thursdays she got to drop it off😂😂😂😂
25/8/7 and 40 years old is CRAZY work
Career high three point percentage too.
Shows how trash the league is.
Lebron is going to sign a two year deal with a player option for the 3rd
So you comparing a billionaire to 150k earning individual 😂common man
No. DO NOT take a pay cut. Yeah it says you are loyal to the team and the city. But that team ownership does not necessarily have loyalty to the PLAYER or THE CITY. I have seen it happen so many times A player gives the team the discount then the owners get cheap and sell off most of the really good members of that team.
Lakers are dedicated to Lebron, he leaves they are dead in the water. He will never have to give a discount.
I think it's a bad comparison compare a business/ Corp to a team sport contract, If LeBron taking a year deal means the team can put more pieces around him and AD that can eventually help the team win. Do you want to win and help the team or do you want to lose and get paid billionaire Bron. If he was the sixth man on the bench I understand.
Shannon dumb logic max money to a guy that's gotten the max like 6 times in his career at this point is about making money or winning I'm confused if he wants the bag then his team will always be ass it's that simple can't win with him being the best player and highest paid
Forreal, in regular job situations we are not worried about the legacy that we are going to leave behind, that is literally a job just to get a check and bounce. Whereas LeBron wanted to be the goat, in order to do that, he has to win more championships than he currently has. Shannon talking about “take one for the team”. Even if you’re making $150,000, that’s not 50 million. LeBron can make no money on his NBA contract, I’m talking veteran minimum, and it would not affect him in the slightest. I’m sure he’s invested as money in real estate and other profitable ventures, not saying he should do the vet minimum, but really he could afford to, do a $25 million a year contract and there would be nothing lost for him. Maybe Shannon is doing this angle because his checks paid from Klutch is possible because of that NBA salary 😂
Why can't he do both? This off season there was plenty of small trades that could have been done. It's the front office job to figure that out. If you took less at you job, that's more money for them to higher other people
@jordanrandolph9868 would more money have made Darvin a better coach? Would it have made them trade the I've picks before the deadline?
@MaximusR93 he feels he is the greatest. At that point does he? If it's about rings shouldn't Kareem and Bill be ahead? More accomplishments and same amount of rings or more
Ocho got me dying
A pay cut in Miami, Florida where there are no state taxes is a max in Los Angeles
150k compared to 50 mil? Cmon unc!
Yup a NBA player taking a 20% pay cut on a 50 million contract compared to my 60k a year job. Yup.
Damn you make 60 k?
I'm a manager making 45
@@dustinboskovich2506 you’ll hit 100k man, keep grinding and doing right for yourself. You got this.
Exactly Shannon as broke as he grew up should understand this
yeah the avg person taking that kind of cut could mean the difference between eating or being homeless.
RETIRE ALREADY
The billionaire propaganda is crazy.
Like right? Would regular people take a paycut? Like bro Lebron could never earn another dollar and still like 1,000 times better than I could ever hope to.
@cptsketch13 you have a habit of saying like when you don't need too say it
@@perrycoffey5410 fair my bad
Lebron is a real Billygoat. LBJ is as much a billionaire as MJ. Propaganda is a word Lebron haters use. Big bank always beats little bank. He's the first active player to become a billionaire. Instead of being proud of a black man reaching incredible heights from a single mom household, you'd rather spew negativity and hatred.
@@WilbertCarter billionaires shouldn’t exist.
THIS SHOW IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST SHANNON GREAT JOB 👍👍👍
I've been saying for years if Lebron really loves the game and wants to maximize his chances to win another championship or two he should take a pay cut. Until he does I'll just continue to believe he's playing for stats.
Yeah, you really can’t make an argument that he cares about being the goat that much, if he’s not willing to do what’s necessary to sign better players. I don’t know why he thinks he needs more help all the time if he’s not willing to do that.
You letting Rob palinka off the hook completely.
He wants to own a team one day, that’s why he doesn’t take pay cuts, he’s trying to accumulate as much cash as he can before the expansion teams come
Collective bargaining he can only sign for so much less anyway. You can’t dip so far below your market value just to sign other players. So what kind of pay cut could he take within the parameters of the CBA that would bring the lakers back a player they need to compete?
@@MaximusR93 which big players taking payouts right now? Joker no Tatum & brown no Giannis no steph no
This is a great show thank you fellas!!
Big difference at taking a pay cut of 150k compared to 50m 🤷♂️ what a stupid take, you can play one season with 10m and you set for life unless u buy a house with 50 rooms and 30 bathrooms for no reason
Or unless you’re lebron.. who’s practically a billionaire, his kids have their own endowments, wife got her own business.. why tf he need a max?😂😂
No one said he doesn’t deserve it.. but if you wanna be the goat, you not getting it on your current salary with our current roster.
@@puppychow1000I mean if he does that….the haters new excuses he’s on a stack team ofc he’d win bs bro got 4 rings it is what it is bill russle got 11 and Jordan got 6 legoat not getting close to 11 rings no time soon 😭
Bruh you know dam ain’t nobody making ANY amount of money is taking a dam pay cut so why should athlete take one?!
@@icedwhaticed Tim Duncan did it in the trail end of his career, got another ring.. Jordan did it during his second 3 peat, and lebron even did it when he went to Miami, got 2 rings..
So seems like taking a small pay cut to get some better help is the way to go huh 🙂
Hachimura, Reaves, Gabe Vincent are all making good money. D’Lo too. They just didn’t do much.
Bradley Beal makes 50 million a year, he didn’t do anything for the suns. It’s not about pay cuts it’s about getting bigger wing players. Because it’s Jamal Murray and MPJ that’s killing them.
😂😂😂😂 Unk is a full take take take all your money and even the hoo-ha. But she better leave me 30% on Mondays and Thursdays I want the hoo-ha
Bron need to go back to Miami
Hell naw for what?
But why would somebody who making 50k a year take a pay cut for somebody in HR and finances??😂😂 …. That scenario did not hit Unc….
Drop it off Mondays and Thursdays is wild 😭😂😂😂
You can’t compare 150,000 to 20 mill pay cut, if I’m already a billionaire and I work the same job that I love I’ll take a pay cut
7:26 That's a false equivalent. White Collar workers aren't thinking about winning championships. Athletes are.
The fans tell players to take a pay cut because these superstars be on press conferences, depressed that they lose important games. Sometimes, they even throw their teammates under the bus about the lack of productivity.
But the thing is: your 30 year-old, 5 million dollar teammate isn't going to average 15ppg. If you would have took the pay cut and got a 12 million dollar player, you would win more games.
😂😂wtf are you talking about
@chadbutler8634 My comment is related to the LeBron pay cut statement that was in the video, along with the analogy Shannon gave.
Players want to win championships, but also want to take up an absurd amount of cap space that could have been used to better their chances at winning.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
@@SirNafurious thank you! lol these people glaze these athletes without thinking. The athletes are being disingenuous😂
@@chadbutler8634ain't it funny how these people are so adamant about what others should be paid for their work? Companies literally bottomed out or sell their stock when it is about to split so they can maximize the most out of what the executives could cash in before the employees can, but he's trying to say that white collar, privileged folks don't think about "winning". If you can get ALL the money that you can, then do it right when it's available & pay people who have never played professional sports little attention. They've never dealt in money like that & never will. Additionally, it's usually the AGENTS who are nudging towards maximize these contracts because they will get paid a lot more for making that happen. Being an agent and bargaining less money for talent, so that some randoms in a random city can he happy, isn't going to put money on the table for that agent once it's all said and done...incentives or whatever else he damned. That's a bad business strategy for agents and lawyers who are worth their salt unless a talent specifically expresses that desire to do so, which is where people like the ones in this thread try to browbeat and start bloviating about how much money these athletes should be making. And I can't help but notice that they are the most vocal when it comes to brothers getting these high value contracts and deals. I wonder why?
Hachimura and Gabe Vincent make a lot more than 5 million dollars a year. They weren’t averaging 15 points per game either.
Folks have to also understand that players are unionized. The wages, the scale, and all that are collectively bargained. When players start taking pay cuts it impacts the way other players negotiate under that CBA
Helen and Carl😂😂
Mondays and Thursday lines up perfect for a single man.
“ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS SHE GOTTA DROP IT OFF”😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yea take 30m
Instead of 50+.
A Shaq n Unc EP🔥🔥🔥2 Goats many rings
He's a billionaire. Demanding a max deal hurts his chance of winning
It ain't about winning for him anymore
But taking a pay cut doesn't guarantee that they spend that money on other players. That's why players team up and go places together so they know what's going to happen.
Taking a pay cut doesnt mean they can land who he or they want target to pair with him😂stop it
To Helen in HR and Carl in finance:
Im sorry UNC did yall like that yall worked hard for them spots 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Proud of you ocho. Everyday just stay learning like everyone does. I read the comments and people know their 💩 . Hell im learning more about football from the videos and comment section here 😂. Just keep watching basket ball college and pros games and hell google if you have to learn a concept . You got this!!!
If ocho is pulling Dorris Burke references out there I know he’s doing his basketball homework 😂😂
I ain’t doin it give me my money 😭
Comparing an office job to an athlete making millions for a pay cut was a horrible example.
❤ Ocho!
Thank you Shannon & OCHO you guys really help me get through depression. I love yall 🙏🏾🙏🏾 #USNAVYVET
Oucho needs his own platform! This is no shade toward Shannon, but Oucho is media gold!!
His numbers looks decent but in reality they not helping them win
Noh unk u got 24 hrs to respond to that diss
What's the take on Shaq's diss song?
6:20 Ocho's reaction was mentally mine. 3-5 billi a month?!!! Lmao
Lakers crazy!!!
Love how Chad sounding off sneaks from back in the day 😅
Unk and Rel got they own segments? 👀
I never think a player should give a owner a discount to stay
Man. That Jeff stat is crazy. Is that too much $$ for a single person?
He doesn’t make $30-$50 billion a year lmao he’s wrong
Billionaires existing in the first place is absolutely ridiculous.
@@dre3k78my thoughts exactly!
It says he makes 45.8 million per day off investments
@@dre3k78Why?
I Like your SWEATSHIRT OCHO>>>>>AWESOME!!!!
For a guy that says he doesn't know basketball yet; Ocho asked some good questions and had good ideas on this one!
Mondays & Thursdays 😂😂
These analogies regarding pay cuts are dumb, there is no such thing as a championship in a “normal” job. There is no public eye viewing you at all times. Sure if office work got you famous and gave you publicity why not take a pay cut. Brady and Mahomes took one and look where it got them. Then look at Chris Paul and Lebron as of late, if you keep saying chips are all that matters then take the pay cut.
I’ll buy the house 500k but I will never buy a watch for 75k. I will never
Ocho folded quick on his point😂😂😂… he does it every time ….
OCHO....DEFINITELY SPEAKING THEM BRANDS
Nah cuz I notice whenever they give into a players demands to that extent they're already past their prime .
Shannon cover The Game Rick Ross Diss🔥🔥🔥
Shaq needs to go play with Anthony Edwards in Minnesota to win a championship
No sign of decline? Lebron hasnt played defense since his miami hear says, Lebron is an offensive player only.
They need one more scorer/defense
Not taking a pay cut. But I never tell athletes to either.
Never take a pay cut.. for a Billionaire
Ocho running game and they don’t even know it !!! My Dawg 😂💪🏾
Go back to Cleveland or Miami
" he was on a Mac contract" - Ochocinco
For all you guys that are too young to either know or have heard,Yrs ago Magic took a pay cut to get a much needed Bob McAdoo on their team for the playoffs,Research it
Mondays and Thursdays drop it off 😂
shannon comparing taking a paycut to normal people is so horrible
Not the same reg ppl not making millions his life will not change wether he take that money or not
Jeanie the worst owner in the league
Keeping him will keep the Lakers relevant but the best interest of the team would be to start a rebuild
Leave the team already lakers need to get younger 🤦🏾♂️
We really don't leave please
Unc keep acting like his viewers are making $150K. Bro, we out here making $50K - $80K. A person making $150K could possibly struggle making less than that. Going from 50 million to 20 million is not the same.
Shannon will not slander his husband by no means 😂
Lakers fans can’t wait for LeBalco to retire…
LeBron needs to retire and focus on becoming an owner
@bradleycampbell245 he already owns part of the Red Sox lol
@@Professorxrh17 I mean NBA ownership
Can’t be an owner if he doesn’t have more money genius. 🤯 Did it never occur to u that signing more max contracts and extensions might be helping him do just that? 🤦🏾♂️
@@bradleycampbell245 oooh gotcha lol
Needs???? Says who
7:20 disagree with this analogy because 9-5 folks aren’t playing for a lifelong legacy in the hall of fame, which is about individuals. If Bron wants max deals and is okay losing then it’s fine with me. No ones going to look at him in the HOF and say, man if it wasn’t for the Cavs and Lakers front office he’d have 3-4 more rings.
Bro that's true Ocho keeping it real
I'm a Lakers fan. LeBron get your money. Rob palinka f'd up by blowing up that championship team, while they were drinking champagne 🍾 in 2020. Rob palinka need to get it done or get lost
It’s a different situation, real work life n sports work are different. A players skill n performance is what makes his money. How the company goes and ur performance is what makes raises n stuff come
I had some blue suede Travel Fox and thought I was the shit!
I love agreeing with Ocho I been saying this he can’t win with just 1 additional max player
We can't give Labron a hard time for taking a large deal with an average team. Kobe did the same thing. With the same bs front office management.
AD finna waste the rest of his prime on a Lebron farewell tour
I don’t see LeBron playing more than two more seasons 🤷♂️
Why?
@@AllenVick82093 he’s getting old man I don’t want him to go out hurt
@@cody95but look how he played can at least play 3 more seasons based on how he look
Same I think he will done after one more season
I think it came out today that he’s going to play “up to” two more seasons. I saw that somewhere on Twitter. So that means two seasons max. I’m good with that. Have the farewell tour the second season and ride off into the sunset
Has sharpe discussed his goat saying it’s just basketball ??
AMZN has no dividend. An offer of equity, agreement in principle to purchase a team from an aging owner, or fast track to an expansion team would be enticing for LeBron.
Lebron goes to play for The Clippers (you read it here first).
Here are the 3 reasons:
1) same city (Los Angeles)
2) the coach (Ty Lue)
3) the salary (billionaire owner willing to spend)
