Lebron 2 years 104 million.
I thought he was taking a pay cut? Does that mean the Lakers can't get anybody?
Worth over a billion bucks & wont take a cut to get more better players in, shows u what type of player & person he is
I think the pay cut would only help with signing free agents. They seem to have moved on to trades so accepting less wouldn't really make any sense if you're Lebron.
I read Lebron was willing to drop down to 30M per year for certain free agents. Klay and two others were mentioned. DeRozan was not.
Anyone who would be signed could have only come for the MLE, and DeRozan isn?t interested in that amount.
Yeah, they never realistically had a shot at Derozan
Sign and trade still on the table
Only sort of. They would have to send out more than $12 million more than they take back. So say DeRozan is willing to sign for $23 million; they would have to send out Russell and Rui for $35 million. But Chicago can?t take back $35 million, because that puts them over the second spring, never mind the tax (which they also don?t want to exceed). So it would need to be a 3-way trade with Utah, who might have enough room outright, or Detroit, which would have to send a smaller salary to Chicago (Utah also might need to do this).
Not technically impossible, but costly (draft picks will absolutely be required to multiple teams), and that?s pretty much it for the Lakers options to get DeRozan. More likely they will trade for someone already under contract, because then they can aggregate contracts up to the second apron, not the first.
