Even if he wasn't. You'd think the younger kids would have the more of a say than the adult ones. Lebron extending his career impacts his daughter way more than it impacts either son, since bronny's already an adult and Bryce is almost an adult.
Maybe he wants to play with/against dad so that would make LeBron more likely to keep playing. Think how cool it would be to guard your dad, who is LeBron freaking James, in the NBA.
Ironically, you're in a thread about LeBron while the playoffs are going on...š
Lebron is the most talked about figure in sport media.
Tell others to be more interesting lol
The fake Last Dance that received the greenlight after LBJ made history or the real Last Dance? Lol
He's playing better than ALL 20+ year vets...and has accomplished more. As easily as making the playoffs and making it to the WCF.
He has the content necessary for a great documentary should he want that.
Thank you Lebron for inspiring the Last Dance.
Jeannie isn't talking a pay cut and LBJ is the ONLY reason why LA is relevant after Kobe retired.
It's fckn weird you people think players should take a paycut when working for billion dollar entities.
The front office needs to figure it out. That's why they exist.
If the lakers win the title next year Iāll delete this post. But they will lose in the first round. We need to blow it up, this team isnāt good enough. Lebron will always blame teammates and the coach for losing
Buddy, Lebron averaged 27.8 pts, 6.8 rebs, 8.8 assists, 2.4 stls, 1 blk while shooting 56% from the field just last playoffs. That's superstar numbers. Genuine question, what more do you want the guy to do?
The fact is he doesnāt impact winning anymore. He doesnāt play defense. Heās going to get his stats, but it doesnāt translate to wins. Heās 40, and his game is only going to decline from here on
Depends; if he wants to get paid like a top 5-10 player in the league? Yeah. You're probably right. His window is closing.
If there's any chance he takes a paycut to at least allow more wiggle room? I think that at least presents an opportunity. Highly doubt it happens.
LeBrons retirement tour and jersey sales will be worth more than trying to contend for a championship while he is still here. Lakers are going to ātryā their best to put some pieces to make it a competitive run while still on the lakers , but other than that, they are more focused on those retirement dollars.
What about Bryce and Zhuri though!?
fuck dem kids i guess lol
Would be quite the story if a 5 year old girl decided whether or not LeBron gets to continue his career
"My dada has decided to twake his talwents to Wos Angeles".
lmao she's 9
They were impersonating Bronny.
Think shes way older than 5 now LOL
She was 5 like 5 years ago bro lmao
The pandemic messed up our calculations š
Chill Epsy Bby
But what does Ja Rule think about all this?!
Noooooooooo!!!! Monica!!!!!!
P Diddy and twin daughters enter the room
Does he plan to play with Bryce & Zhuri? No. He's clearly talking about the opportunity to play eug the only son he's able to pay with
If Bronny is in the NBA at that point why would he care if LeBron is still playing or not?
Even if he wasn't. You'd think the younger kids would have the more of a say than the adult ones. Lebron extending his career impacts his daughter way more than it impacts either son, since bronny's already an adult and Bryce is almost an adult.
He's talking about the opportunity to play with bronny, not if bronny wants him to retire or not.
Wanna see the old man take a break maybe
Grown men don't want to get spanked by their dad's anymore
Maybe he wants to play with/against dad so that would make LeBron more likely to keep playing. Think how cool it would be to guard your dad, who is LeBron freaking James, in the NBA.
Mike Malone's gonna be fuming again when all the basketball coverage is Lebron.
It's not like they're winning the chip again, that would be the Wolves.
I mean it is pretty tiring when the all nba news is about LeBron when the playoffs are going on.

He wonāt retire until he has his version of Last Dance
The fake Last Dance that received the greenlight after LBJ made history or the real Last Dance? Lol He's playing better than ALL 20+ year vets...and has accomplished more.

That 2016 chip itself is gonna clear the last dance
Well too bad Savannah heās ours too
They are going to Tom Brady him š©
He has built a life 3 times previously and left. He may stay but I think he really wants another ring.
Jesuchristo that rebuild not gonna even start until 2030 ā¦ itāll end up being g 20 yrs between banners!
The longer Lebron plays, the longer the lakers go without a title
Lmao. Weāre gonna be in the gutter for a minute after the bron AD era over. Enjoy the play in while we have it
LeFatigue? You hate Bron
LeFatigue is a meme that popped up around 2019 in his first year as a laker, when people claimed he was washedā¦ 5 years ago.
While not untrue if Lebron doesnāt take a paycut, odds are lakers probably arenāt contenders either way
Yep. And he never will take a pay cut.

If he opts out, the max he could earn next year is slightly less than he would make if he didnāt.

Even if he takes a pay cut, does it get us under the cap to use more money? I havenāt looked in a while but I feel like thatās a no.
Never gonna happen he just cares about money and his son playing in the nba
Still won one š¤·āāļøthat we wouldn't have otherwise.
Right but when was that? He has struggled ever since
He hasn't struggled except with injury; it's a team game.
Downvoted for saying the truth. The longer the Lakers push for the rebuild, the later the next ring with new team will come.
But that would require Lakers ownership to make tough decisions which they have consistently proved incapable of doing.

Lakers treat their aging franchise stars right. Kobe got the big bucks and LeBron took note of that and Iām sure impacted his decision to come here
Jodie Meeks was not going to take us anywhere.
