I mean. It all depends on what silver does with the clippers.

If there is no punishment then teams can just have sponsors pay players. It would basically just be NIL

I may also consider taking vet minimum

Yeah this is just standard Jake Fischer throwing out random bullshit. Can’t believe he still gets posted here sometimes lol

so ur saying he can grace my crunchwrap w his touch?

But you dont understand, JAKE FISCHER said this bro

No that would be if he took the vet minimum with the Thunder

he should be joining the cavs on a vet min

Would be pretty funny to watch the meltdown online. For basically his entire career his haters have been saying he should take pay cuts instead of passive aggressively complaining about shit rosters made around him (even though they were mad he left money on the table to make a super team on the Heat) so now they will have to switch the narrative and it will be fun to see what the haters come up with next.

I feel like it kind of implies the opposite? If he didn’t care what people think he’d go after money. This implies he wants a ring, which at some level implies he cares what people think.

New owners will make some kind of lebron landscaping company to improve the city

Adam Silver gonna investigate your ass and come to his conclusion when the 26-27 season is over

I’ll pay for his Spotify!

I’m sure this violates some kind of rule and will result in Missouri football getting the death penalty.

Get him a Pandora subscription and deal is done.

Wouldn’t be the first time an LA team did that

More realistically it’s a discount but still!

Imagine if he takes one… But to go to the Warriors

NBAPA would be swarming Klutch like Klutch swarms everybody else 

The union would throw a massive fit (rightfully)

Depends on what the Kawhi/Aspiration punishment is

There is absolutely a chance he does.

• Lebron takes a vet min
• Bronny gets the Austin Rivers bailout extension
• Luka gets 6 months of rest and shows up with a 10 pack

I respect still calling it the name it should be!

Right? Imagine winning your final nba title with your son.

Not only is turning down a lot of money hard for any person to do, but players set precedent for future teams and players. There are things the NBAPA would dislike about Lebron taking less than his market value, too.

Because who the fuck is turning down 50M+ ,

Edit : all these nephews telling me “he’s a billionaire” as if someone is willingly going to take that much of a paycut. This isn’t 2k kiddos

How much does he make from all his other ventures? If it’s for one last season and to try and end his career with a championship?

He better not get any slander from Laker fans for the rest of his life if he sacrifices like this to remain on the team.

I get it. I’ve seen how y’all live in those other states.

I think it would be less about LA and more about helping his legacy with a few more rings before he’s done.

He’s playing with his son and he’s built a life in Los Angeles. Sounds pretty fun to me

Did you miss the part of the season when Lakers were a top 3 team? Maybe you didn’t tune in this season until after the league’s highest ppg scorer dropped out for injury

lmao can I have one LeBron for the vet min please? He can rest the entire regular season and just show up in the playoffs

His son and family are all in LA

Loyalty, family, friendship 

Lakers were a good team this year, they just weren’t consistent. Their weakness at center has showed the past 2 playoffs, but the rest of the roster is actually quite good.

You mean DP?

No shade, but i don’t think that team wins a championship or even gets out of the East

Vando hits a 3!?

almost no players at the top need the money, but it is important that they get paid relative to their skill and the skill of other comparable players, i’m pretty sure the nbapa would actually have conniptions if bron took a vet min while performing like he did in the playoffs

Give up \(30-40M to lose to OKC or San Antonio in the 2nd round anyway? \)30M is still $30M.

why would he work for basically free? Why should the owner get all the money and value from him being on a team, without paying him for it?

No they union frowns upon it but doubt anyone cares with bron

There’s no rule against it. The only thing preventing stars from taking minimum deals is that they value getting paid more than they value winning

Dude he’s like 41 years old.
