[you go boy]

he better opt in... thats a ton of money to throw away for no reason lol

Lakers have cap space for Kyrie next year but idk I’m not that interested in a small 30 year old guard for 9 figures.

[ill steelo]

“Myrie for the MLE”

A star in his prime taking a 90% discount was always absurd I can’t believe Woj would even type something like that

Who?

 

[Blue Mamba]

So the entire thing was bs Media wants him on the Lakers so bad

 

[N41D]

If he’s traded can he still get the big max on his next extension or nah?

I had to explain to several people today why a NBAPA VP would never do this.

ESPN making woj do hot take stuff is wild. The NBA off season doesn't even need it, it's always dramatic

After losing a bunch of money voluntarily last season.

Can’t be a philanthropist with no $

Cycle of a nba story:

1. Disgruntled star uses lakers for leverage
2. Media eats it up. Laker photoshops and stories posted everywhere
3. Lakers fans get hyped
4. Nba fans get mad
5. Star returns to his team after using the Lakers for leverage
6. Nba fans clown on the Lakers / Laker fans

**** is clockwork

 

[N41D]

Yes

Thought so.

So this legitimately could just be the beginning of all this because it’s the significantly easier path out.

 

[T0INE]

From players being from the trenches or not, to Qyrie’s 2022-2023.

Can only go up from here.

Lakers lmaoooo

Aren’t you a lakers fan????

Russ must be happy it’s over at least for today. He was catching strays left and right all day.

Myrie and Woj working people into shoots.

[Mark Antony]

He doesn't realize it but that "Shameless" at the bottom right makes it more hilarious.

 

[elpablo21]

Ben Simmons somewhere looking over at Maya

Well he was just reporting what he was he told, no?

As audaciously ludicrous as it was.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It always was lol. There aren't many cap space teams

How tf was he ever going to sign for a damb MLE

 

[tay1]

I don’t get the Spurs wanting to give up on Murray for Hawks firsts.

 

[Coupé It]

I’m still in shock at how many Lakers fans believed this could happen.
