LeBron James won't sign an extension if the Lakers don't land Kyrie Irving.

Per Marc Stein.

That's a lie.

Late again......

The lying ass account has already deleted it when Stein pulled up.

It is a lie to report it as fact. Stein didn’t say that.

But common sense dictates that LeBron will walk next summer if the Lakers mess up this trade opportunity (or anything else for that matter).

I don't think LeBron will leave.

His kids go to school there and he is firmly entrenched in his Hollyweird bullshit.

Obviously, I'm guessing.

History does say that's his m.o.

But, he and his kids are older now.

So, it's much harder to disrupt that normalcy.

Sadly, your Fan base is making things even harder.

Why humiliate the man by chanting we want Kyrie while he's in the building?

No wonder he left the game at halftime

Fans gonna fan. Even when it's dumb.

To be fair though, Westbrook brought a lot of that on himself. Not only was he a bad fit on the court, he didn't exactly give a seminar on how to win friends and influence people. lol

PG and 7 1st’s for Kyrie confirmed by Ballsack Sports

Currently, the Cleveland Cavaliers have eight players under contract for the 2023-24 season; when Ricky Rubio’s new deal becomes official, that will move to nine. Kevin Love and his large deal come off the books, as do Caris LeVert, Dylan Windler and Dean Wade. Robin Lopez and Raul Neto are only under contract for one year.

That means that right now, the Cavs could open up as much as $47 million in cap space next summer, and more if they waive Lamar Stevens or find new homes for Isaac Okoro or Cedi Osman. That’s enough to make a run at another max player to fill out this core.

That player could be a veteran, Khris Middleton or Harrison Barnes. It could be a restricted free agent offer to De’Andre Hunter or RJ Barret, or someone crazy like Jordan Poole. The wildest possibility of all that Cavs fans can’t stop talking about? LeBron James, coming home to The Land one last time at the end of his career to try and win another title.

To keep those max-level possibilities open, the Cavs could be hoping to either lowball Sexton or even maneuver him into taking just his $7.23 million qualifying offer and coming completely off the books next season — or having a smaller cap hold to then pay him to a higher level as a super-sub on a team where Darius Garland, LeBron James, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen are the starters.

I thought this was before the Garland deal. I think they have around $35M bc the salaries add up to $98M. Projected cap $133M

Just saw they have to trade Okoro, makes more sense now

It was on Basketball Forever and they cited Stein.

Didn't know BF was Legion Hoops.

Okay, I get it now with this Diabate kid.

Unrefined.

But, he's got bounce and hustle.

I'm pretty impressed with Jason Preston.

As for the other game, Jalen Williams is going to be good.

The Thunder had a awesome draft.

Jabari needs to settle himself.

Stop trying so hard to prove you got snubbed.

He's missing very make able shots.

He will be fine in time.
