Lebron will retire as soon as the NBA integrates expansion teams into the league .. UNTIL THEN: >Lebron's 22nd year in the league *Bronny will be in the NBA* .. >Lebron's 23rd year in the league *Bryce will be in the NBA* .. at the end of THAT 23rd year the "expansion teams" will be HERE .. Lebron will THEN "retire" from the league and pursue ownership of an NBA team *LeLasVegasVulcans* 🖖 dont be surprised if Bronny & Bryce eventually end up on THAT roster 😎

People really underestimate how much Lebron genuinely likes living in LA, his business empire is here, his kids and family love LA and got settled in and at this stage of his career you want stability esp with your wife who keeps the ship running when you’re not there so you gotta keep her happy

alll i heard was back and forth "ridder" I was expecting paul to say some XD

I agree 100% with PP bkuz one thing for sure is that the NBA is gonna make their Top Dollar so don't short change me and give me all my money .. how about the NBA take a pay cut and give me a 3 year 30 million dollar contract with a 150 million dollar signing bonus.

Kobe said it best “If I take a pay cut and we don’t win can I get that money back?”

Never take a pay cut if you dont have to.

Imo, the question makes sense only if you have someone ready to sign. It's one thing if the GM comes and tells you "take the mid contract and we get Ant". it's a complete different story if it's "we MIGHT get someone to sign". 😂

150. Invest in philanthropy

none of that tom brady nonsense. Take the bread. Your actual market value

I'm not in that position, but Bron is guaranteed a lot of Money for his lifetime and generations to come. He has a lifetime deal with Nike and a lot of businesses that bring him income. That 150 is not gonna make a difference, it's all about just willing to take less while being who you are.

It’s always about the dream. We always dreamed of hitting the winning shot way before the money. The dream is everything and includes everything necessary for its accomplishment.

Darvin ham is gone. I’ll take a 100 mil and get a good player. Use that 50 mil to go get dame Leonard or KD.

Paul P is right. You take dineros.

KG is wild 😂😂😂

My perspective on taking less is that, If you have 100s of millions in your bank and you ain’t willing to take less to chase championships. Than where is your heart at? Your showing your fans it was never love of the game. I ain’t saying Lebron should take a MLE. But if he took half what he was worth just to accommodate an extra guy. It is a good gamble and it’s a good look with fans. I hope Rudy and Kat have similar thinking and we can somehow keep this whole gang together in Minnesota. It’s about the game first. You 2nd. The money is coming either way. And that’s how legends are built.

Paul- “Those billionaires go to work, they show up to work” Them billionaires when they get to work- “alright everyone get back to work”

LeBron James last Ride 🏀🏀🏀👏 year 22

Him still a max player at 39 is insane

Its hard cuz Legacy Wise if he could get another 2, He could get a statue in LA and join the 6 rings debate. Championships are not guaranteed tho and it all depends on who wants to join.

As a Lebron fan never thought I would agree w/ the Truth

Paul talking about it doesn't guarantee a ring.. Nothing guarantees you a ring (Unless you're KD going to a 73-9 team that won already). But the point would be to have a much better opportunity to get one and allow the Lakers to have some pieces on his way out

Ask the owners to pay the luxury tax. Why does the onus fall on the player(s) to take less

Tim Duncan took less in HIS PRIME and he won

At the end of the day whatever he chooses it’s his choice and I’m not gonna get mad, but as a LeBron fan for one time in your career sacrifice some money to chase a ring. Remind the league who you are before you leave. Also it won’t shut them all up but it will silence people who think you don’t love your league. I’d love to see the old guys beat up the young guys one last time.

bron can literally take 100 for 3, for real for real Ad n bron should take a pay cut get another solid starter and 2-3 players off the bench

This talking point should be discontinued and completely buried, it’s bad business practice to take less than the market is willing to pay for your service. Players aren’t being paid hundreds of millions over 5 years for a championship, the business of basketball is far bigger than a ring. It’s about the TV deals, the local TV deals, selling out games, blowing up the merchandise, brand impressions and views. If you can increase the value of a franchise and raise the overall net worth of a billionaire than they’re going to offer you what you’re value is within the rules, championship be damned. If there wasn’t a salary cap, Bron would have gotten a crazy contract like Shoehai Ohtani in baseball. NBA superstars are already undervalued.

If he takes less everyone will say the ring don't count cause he stacked the deck .

Bron and Bronny should just go to Cleveland and see what happens. Go out in style in your hometown. Browny can be mentored by his dad and Spider. There is no path to compete for a ring in LA with the Lakers

Money shouldn't matter to LeBron at this point. He should be doing whatever he can to win a title if that's what's important to him.

He’s gonna own team in vegas. Get the money

tom brady did it

He already got the bag and gone get more when he retire 💯😂

Magic did it

For 99% of players taking the money is hands down the right choice, but is LeBron playing for money or legacy at this point?

what about cleveland??!

"Ritter"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LeBron should come to the Warriors to full his dream of playing with Curry and still get his bread & maybe a ring.

I am with Paul, get the money, even if he won 2 more and had 6 like MJ there will still be people will say MJ is the GOAT so take $150 M and play it out

Most any time we’re talking about an aging player yes, get the money. But this is Lebron….hes an active player who is worth a billion or more. And he’s gonna make another few hundred in endorsements after he retires Imo he should take a pay cut and make another run…..he’s got both AD and the Lakers boxed in. They’re not winning any more with this team I don’t think it’s a hard choice specially because the guy already has more than 999 million dollars….if he doesn’t it’s fine….but we’re all gonna understand what his goals were in this last chapter

Steph took less to get KD. What is Paul talking about?

Money…💰💰💰 S I M P L E.

Also... LBJ's window to surpass MJ is CLOSED. MJ if he never retired in the middle of his prime would have 8 rings. And He could have picked up his 9th if the Bulls stayed intact for another season for 1999. At the height of MJs career there is NO ONE comparable. The guy literally retired in 93 bc he got tired of winning. He literally got tired of winning.

look at durants titles with goldenstate, people really dont care about them, nobody talking about durant as being one of the all time greats like they talk about lebron, kobe or steph. you piggyback to a title too obviously then thats just a tainted ring.

LeBron is the goat period. Take that god damn money because the Jordan fans and the LeBron haters are never gonna give him his props especially when he gets some real consistent players that don’t score zero points in a playoff game.

Only people with no rings say rings don't matter. If rings don't matter then why play the sport

Take 120, 30 million could help get more help that Bron need

Take care of his kids like he been doing.

IF LBJ wants a ring he needs to go to the EAST and link up with Celtics

Brons guna make money for the rest of his life because he is who he is more money won't amplify that. More rings would. Plus I bet he would be happier looking back on his career with more rings Plus to Paul's point Tim Duncan took less all the time to win same with Tom Brady

I think that LeBron’s career is already solidified enough that another title only contains a push for his GOAT status for #1 over Jordan because he’s doing it so late in his career. It creates a better position for his playing career in the all time great conversation. I don’t think money would do anything positive or negative to his career because a title means more especially now. Let me know what you think on this take!!
