    If he is washed up in 4 years, it will be unlikely he makes $30 million the rest of his life combined, so how could he justify not taking the $$ now? Also, the way the NBA works if things aren't working out he can just demand a trade in a year or two anyways.

    As far as Lebron goes, Simmons predicted months ago that he was going to come to LA for a simple reason noone is really mentioning. His son is really good at basketball, and like most parents (even if their kids aren't necessarily good at sports), Simmon's said Lebron probably wants to be able to go to his son's games.
    Apparently he’s taking three years with a player option for a fourth

    Meanwhile, Houston held the line on a fifth year of this deal that would have paid Paul some $47 million at age 37. Realistically, it's going to be difficult for Paul to be worth his salary at any point in this contract given his age and tendency to suffer muscle injuries. I project his value at around $80 million over the next three seasons, when he'll actually make $115 million. But such is the price of contending for the Rockets, who got within a game of the NBA Finals after adding Paul at this time a year ago.

    holy shit, for as "bad" as that paul deal looks given his history of getting dinged imagine paying him $47M at 37...

    Yep. I figured this was next move. Still doubt it, more likely to be leverage move to pressure LA, but there’s not many options atm. Yesterday flipped the script. I can’t believe Paul George did a 3-part Espn special to resign with OKC. I assumed all the talk of him resigning there was simply to build suspense for the tv segment. That experiment failed. Kahwi takes a lot of work, but PG seemed a lock to LA. Now, unless Lebron already has the space jam 2 trailers finished and in the can, who knows?

    Damn, now that would be fun to watch that passing with Jokic and Lebron. Gary Harris ideal shooting guard with him. That team could win and punish GS when they go small. Never think it happens, but would be fun. They paid Jokic, but have always been notoriously cheap owners who don’t like to pay tax. They’d pay Lebron if possible, but he always wants you to go over and add pieces.

    thought they were already going to be in tax hell with barton/jokic signings? guess they'd have to dump draft picks to offload faried and another contract...

    I'm a Blazers fan - if the Spurs are still asking the world for Kawhi, the Lakers should make a Godfather offer for Damian Lillard instead and get Kawhi next summer.

    The Blazers are not good enough to contend and I am tired of their present team. Now is the time to sell high on Lillard, whom I love to watch.

    Their fans are the nut low. Nothing close. And I don’t hate LA, but Lakers fans are simply the worst

    That’s the spirit

    All the money and all the talent but it’s LA. The city of fail.

    Zero championships next 4 years but endless endless Lulz.

    Simply the best possible outcome for PFA. The best bridge between Dodgers fail seasons.

    The worst part is signing for 4 years after holding us hostage with 1+ 1s every year. Hard enough to get guys to Cleveland without that.

    LeBron James agrees to 4-year, $153.3M deal with Los Angeles Lakers

    http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...3-million-deal

    Well at least Kobe Bryant won't go down in history as the best player on the Lakers.

    Just the one with the biggest dick.

    Yeah, there’s going to be a serious adjustment period with Lonzo being ball dominant and unable to shoot, and the chance of Lebron listening to some honky 5 years older than him who was a scrub player is pretty much never happening.

    I feel some poor radio or talking head show in the future for him and Tyronn Lue. The Luke & Lue Show. They’re simply too horrible for ESPN to not find a place for them.
