The Official NBA Season Thread: Happy Birthday WASHED KING

[thekillerj23]

Setting up for Bron to comeback to Cle and retire in Szn 23 lol

 

[getback]

Bron whenever Rob Pelinka walks into a Lakers facility

 

[JMB10215]

As I felt all along Lebron is retiring in year 23. Also keep in mind that the 2026 NBA All-Star game is in Cleveland. Storybook ending.

But couldn’t take a pay cut to make sure Klay eats?

Terrible leader

Meanwhile James is taking cuts to get us below the apron. #TrueGoat

 

[nick.]

The thread's thoughts on Klay Thompson for the last three years compared to the last three days is funny

 

[JMB10215]

These next 2 seasons could get ugly

 

[superblytrife]

Regarding pay cuts, I’ll never understand why anyone insists players should take them. Eff that noise—get all that you’re worth and what your employer is willing to pay you.

Let someone suggest that one of us should take a pay cut in our regular *** jobs and dudes would freak.

Agreed. One solution should be that the Supermax "bonus" should not affect the cap. Everyone wins that way and I hope they implement it.

Saw that Atkinson doesn’t want to trade Allen so don’t think it’s gonna happen

For now, no. In February, maybe.

I’d be surprised if he leaves one year before Bryce is eligible

I highly doubt Bryce is even eligible tbh. Hes lower ranked for his class then Bronny was. And his projected draft class is stacked to the brim. NBA gms know this. Honestly Bryce is actually a lower renowned prospect than his brother was at the same stage.

[QU!K]

So Bron don’t want to play with Demar?

So at worst he’s the same caliber as Thanasis

 

[JMB10215]

Demar is not taking the 13 mil minimum from the reports ive read.

Considering hes only 6'4 I would say worse. But Thanasis also never was drafted and went from the pro overseas to g-league grind so who knows.

[elpablo21]

515k over the 2nd apron?

Bron gonna demand Bronny start at PG if they want to remain a 1st apron team

Bend the Knee Rob

 

[frshstunna]

Lakers into the second apron. Run it back vibes

They know their cooked so they just running the Bron retirement tour and father/son thing for the next couple seasons

Only thing is they wasting years of AD’s career then gon start a rebuild with him making big money at like 34

 

[MVP]

Just masterful PR by Lebby.

Just 2 more seasons of this and finally we can be done.

 

[Bad Religion]

 

[tay1]

The Kings gotta hold it down for Cali. Real nasty work!

 

[Nike Jordan]

Competent government?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Competent government?

You tell me

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Demar is not taking the 13 mil minimum from the reports ive read.

He might be taking less than that since there's no money left. Unless he wants to play for Utah or something
