Tv is best seat in the house anyway.

Damn right.

No shit!!!

Love my @DJ ...but....

He always wants to make lopsided bets.

You put up 20k and he puts up 2k.

SportsHoopla EBT.

Still waiting @DJ

Doesn't matter.

You would have done it and it was broadcast worldwide.

No sane person would have done differently in your situation.

But, these guys have pride.

Also, it's been suggested that the Lakers won't prioritize giving him the full mini mle.

They have a list of wings they are going to try to land first.

If he's been made aware of this, why tf is he obligated to still show loyalty ?

If it's just business for the Lakers, it is for him as well.

If that's the case then so be it. Regardless, he's likely gone, on to the next.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

C’mon @DJ, I only have 8k Vcash.

 

[shopson67]

Shopson is butthurt. I have moved on.

Porter would be nice. A wing that can defend and shoot is more of a priority.

I'm not butthurt lol. If he was told he's not the top priority with the TPMLE, he's free to walk.

Going to the Kings to get paid is just not a good public look.

“You’re playing with LUKA, come home”

Another DJ situation? About to be blocked in the room until he agrees to stay, lol?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Harden taking less than the max has me thinking James might next summer.

Fuck, he's worth a billion.....what's 12-15 mill so they can build a better team?

 

[shopson67]

Nunn can replace what Monk gave us. Excited about what Nunn can do.

I'll withhold my excitement until he gets on the court for an actual game that counts.

I get it

I also bought some when I became a paid member for a few years.....LOL.

I've been saying this, and it won't necessarily be the Lakers. He could be ready for the lesser paid 'mentor' role soon. Would go where he fits well to win another ring. Like....Cleveland.

Then either the team he's on drafts Bronny or he goes to some team that will.

 

[shopson67]

This is amazing

Imaging if teams did this to scumbags like China lover Lebron too

If you're going to hate people who do business in/with China, you're not going to like many people.

Sure but not $12-15

 

[msgkings322]

Sure but not $12-15

Yeah I would think more like $20-25 but remember, his salary at this point in his career isn't really relevant. Rings are.

Not sure what that would get the Lakers, less luxury tax?

Well if the Cavs plan right they will have a max slot open, not sure if it’s going to be $40M but that is more attractive than the Lakers right now by far. This offseason will tell us a lot about if they possibly plan around that

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sure but not $12-15

Never said 12-15 million per season. LOL.

12-15 mill less.....prefaced it with the Harden situation.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He'll get something similar to what Harden is.....was the intent of the post.

And that will help the Lakers a lot with just AD on the books basically before James reups.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Only AD is signed when James reups.

Yeah but that isn’t doing anything for the Lakers or Sixers regardless. Cavs can offer him max, not more than Lakers but he will be in a better situation
