He won't get nearly the same money to leave. Not even close. Cuban will give him every penny of the super max plus extras, guaranteed.

Lol
Two starters (both Dinwiddie and DFS would be automatic starters for us tomorrow) and a 2029 pick when kyrie will be gone and possibly Luka has left bc kyrie trade destroyed them.
Vs 47 million dollar buyout candidate and 2 firsts for kyrie AND Harris.
It’s not even close.
****, if the lakers offered Russ and 1 first for spencer and DFS straight up, mavs say no. And if they did that would be an absolute steal

Kind of agree with you
Historically, superstars RARELY switch teams.
Kawhi
Lebron
George
Butler
Russ
Harden
Cp3
AD
KD
kyrie
Players stay with their teams. Nba loyalty is the best part of the league.

Lakers F.O not morgaging the next 10 years of the franchise to keep Bron Happy>>>
i've liked the patience they showed thus far, all this changes if they end up wasting the two first on a platter of role players
This is kind of how I feel. If you look at the LeBron era in total, we've already basically given up a decades worth of assets
2014- Julius Randle - let him walk for nothing in order to have cap space for two stars in Summer 2019
2015 - D'Angelo Russell - traded in order to clear cap space to sign LeBron
2016 - Brandon Ingram -part of the AD trade
2017 - Lonzo Ball - part of the AD trade
2019 - part of the AD trade
2020 - part of the Dennis Shroeder trade
2021- part of the Russell Westbrook trade
2022- part of the AD trade
2023 - part of the AD trade
2024 or 2025 - part of the AD trade
And now fans want to give up even more assets to improve the team? At a certain point trading away first round picks cannot be your approach to roster building. It has to stop at some point.
Fans ask, "why is our roster so depleted and why don't we have any good young players?" It's because we've traded away a decades worth of assets and now we are reaping what we've sown.

Rob having terrible relations around the league doesn’t help either

Bro I wasn't directing that at you at all. I'm glad you posted it and I was literally posting it as a reminder to everyone. It wasn't some passive aggressive shot at you just because I just quoted you quoting me saying Bron/AD for Kyrie.
Uf I took issue with you, I would PM you. You're one of the few that's cool like that.It was a short, necessary reminder to all.

A player with ZERO trade value just went for 2 starters and a first
We giving up a first 10000%. Probably both

This all tells me Jeanie/Rob/Rambii didn’t REALLY want Kyrie
The package they put together wasn’t serious, it was just to show Klutch that they tried

So you rather Bron be unhappy which means losing than winning?

I would rather the GM and owner think about what's in the best interest of the long-term prospects of the franchise. Of course I want LeBron to be happy but if what makes LeBron happy isn't what's best for the team, then I don't really care if LeBron's happy or not.
