Looks like lebron gonna retire a Laker
Looks like lebron gonna retire a Laker
A lot of people are to dumb to realized that Lebron planned this son & father since the 1st contract back 2018 with the Lakers.
Other breaking news. Water is wet 😂
Money and fame won! enjoy LBJ with Bronny playing this season its inspiring its amazing! Who else in he NBA had the chance having 52 million per year at 40 years old ? even MJ did not have that happen nor playing with his sons in NBA. Only LeBron! can, so F**k the goat debate. Longevity, money and talking who is still famous is the new Legendary achievements. LeBron is still strong while most NBA players retires with less money and even broke not even 40 years old.Even when LeBron retires earning money wont stop for him. He is probably going to be a coach, GM or businessman. F**K championships ring, LeBron will for sure have the last laugh.😎💪
Lakers brand has taken a beating since signing LeBron. With the exception of one chip that no one cares about.
Dude is selfish. I’m not gonna say not deserving. However maybe take 10m less and you can restructure some of his current teammates contacts so they atleast might be a little better off. I know it’s far fetched but the dude gonna be set for generations. Lebron the great pretender with that “pay-cut” talk 😂😂
So much for winning a chip with his son…
He's not worth 50 million a year. NOT a clutch player and lazy on defense.
When Phil Jackson and I said to trade LeBron and ad for assets y'all called us a mad man
We all know laver ball is better then lebron James 😂 neva lost
This is not breaking news
Fck the Lakers.
Oh yeah lakers season is over.
Wish he woulda been a cav lakers fans don’t deserve him
ESPN is so biased towards the Lakers they have its coach on their YouTube channel’s banner.
Lakers signed Lebron James 2x 🤯
LeBron clearly doesn't care about winning. That's the difference between Brady and LeBron, Brady would've signed for 30 million giving the team 20 million to add another good player.
Rob will eventually get fired if the lakers dont make the playoffs which i wanted them to make a big trade.
DLO stays on the Lakers hahhaaa yes!!
So who’s gonna be at fault when they in 7th place?
LeBum draining the Lakers organization and they know it but playing d**b as usual 💀
ESPN will RIG it so that le ESPN HYPE james and le ESPN HYPE james jr become the first father and son to win a RIGGED NBA TITLE
Lakers need to bring back Julius Randle. At one point, Luke Walton said he was the best on-ball defender in the NBA. Julius could very well be the Anti-Jokic.
Oh my f*** ing god. So no addition like Derozan
Fire Rob Pelinka
Nobody, as a third option, wants to play with him. Thompson gone to the Mavs, harden still with the clippers. Another play in finish
I guess he is done winning lol
Sign kennard
It wasnt the money or players. It was all about getting the no trade clause. He couldnt be eligible for it if he signed an extension. He knows deep down they would seriously consider trading him now at his age.
LeGM offered and signed himself to the max contract.
LA LAKERS are gonna be crap new season . They can't sign anyone . I don't think no1 wants to play with bron other then his son who averaged 6 points a game . Bronny is not good his just a average kid
The man is supergreedy.
Glad he took a pay cut
BRONNY FOR 3
The Lakers will not win a Championship with LeBron so they lose it's all about selling tickets first father and son Kobe disappointed right now
LeBron was already in one “Trainwreck,” this one will be far more entertaining to watch 😂
