Terrible idea for the Lakers. They need to rebuild.

Is that Robert Parrish suiting up every night ooorrr...
What you are doing is like calling Mike or Kobe 'standard shooting guards.' Nah, the work they put in made them a little different than just a regular old 2 like thousands of others before them.
I know your snarky, sarcastic responses. 'Wait, so because Lebron does extra push-ups, he's defeated father time? He's not going to be 42? Ever?'

I'm sure he'll be "good"
53 mil at 42 SEVERLEY limits what else we can do.
Good, ain't enough.

It's an investment.
Am I upset that this is a clear business decision that almost guarantees a ROI when EYE want the focus to be solely on 18?
Yes.
But do I get it?
Also yes.
Am I going to enjoy it?
Still yes, as long as BOS don't win.

This is a business decision for the global Laker brand
Having the “goat” do a farewell tour in lakers purple and gold and have his last game at Crypto is marketing on steroids. Everytime there is a video clip or picture of his last game; last shot etc there is a lakers logo or lakers colors in the background

Bron saw how good the organization treated Kobe, that's another reason why made the jump. After Bron get his deal that's the reason the next superstar will also. Send the message that was take care of the people that win.
Kobe's final game was our 17th win of the season......
We're talking about not seriously competing for another 3+ years and being ok with that.
Bron + AD at ages 40-42 and 31-33 will take up 105-110 million by themselves. Killing themselves to get the 8-9 seed.
This is why I was sayin we needed to go ALL IN for it this year, and if come up short, move AD at least. Get assets in position for post LeBron. Not kill 3 years on his career too.

Like NBA - Lakers, NFL - Cowboys, MLB - Yankees favor?
TV wise, yes.
On field "help", no.

If Lebron finishes his career on the Lakers he'd have played here almost as long as Cleveland.
Crazy to think about
You gotta re-sign him, and you gotta give him what he wants. He's top 5 all time, and that's how the Lakers do.
