🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 LeBron James agrees to a 2-YEAR/$104M max deal w/ Lakers! | Get Up 

$104 max plus he employed his son. I guess Lakers' focus this season is on the brand and tickets than actually winning.

Dlo is the happiest person right now, they ain't gonna talk about him being traded for 2months lol

Tell me you're throwing in the towel.. without telling me 😂

Lmao all that talk about a pay cut. Dude got a max deal instead😂😂.

In other news....water is still wet and I had a blueberry muffin this morning.

This is very likely Lebron's last NBA contract

So it's basically a one year/52 million deal. It shows that nobody wanted to take the Lakers money to play with Lebron.

The Los Angeles Lakers today announced they are fully committed to being a joke for the next two seasons! Smfh

No Klay No Paycut

Bron said, " Give me my moNEY"!😂😂😂😂

As a laker fan, I say we boycott. Office full of🤡

Pelinka could not bring in ONE SINGLE PLAYER OR MAKE ONE TRADE lebron challenged him and he failed, Fire Pelinka immediately and bring in BOB MYERS

He tried already, and they fumbled it. Blame Rob first

100Ms for 2 years is INSANE

The Lakers were the 9th-10th best team in the West last year, and that was with LeBron and AD playing 70+ games They won't be that healthy, two years in a row, at their age, and even if they were, they didn't get any better And they have a new coach to deal with, so expect plenty of growing pains the first half of the year The Lakers will only be noteworthy this season for their nepotism, and how many time Bronny can ride that bench.

this isnt breaking news

Noone wants to go to the Lakers to be a scapegoat again. They learned from Russ' experience. Harden, Klay and others are smart💯

Man fck another year of us being mid…

Genuinely looking forward to the post-LeBron NBA...

Max contract for a 39 year old player in decline. LeBron owns this franchise.

Demar is waiting on the Clippers

52 million and no trade clause, Lebron signing his own checks now

So he turns down a $51.4 million option and says he’s willing to take a cut to get someone to their roster and that didn’t work so he’s getting a extra $600k more for first year as $51.4 wasn’t enough lol

Lmao all that talk about a pay cut. Dude got a max deal instead😂😂😂

They running it back 😂😂😂

This shows you that players don't want to play with James smh. The Lakers never had a problem getting players to come there.

When has Lebron ever took a pay cut y'all 😂😂😂

Lakers got their man!

Work till 67, you gonna get full social security.

How could a Front Office have AD & LBJ and for years u still dont know how to built a strong roster around them!! Are such bums and amatures, but delusional Lakers fanbase keep sleeping! 😑🤦

They only let Bontemps on TV in July when the main crew is on vacation

Rob should be fired

Lakers still think they can get passed Denver with that squad.

Man this next season already pissing me off. As a die hard Laker fan, im not optimistic at all. Its looking like Lakers are heading to the dark years.

That means we're stuck with LeGM's BS for 2 more years. Been a Laker fan since i was 10 years old and I've never been more disappointed

I hope Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, and Vanderbilt stay healthy and ball out. If you think about it. With these guys back we are adding 3 guys to the roster this year. Lets Goooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Gotta make sure Bronny got his playing time😂😂

LeBron being on the Lakers is not breaking any part of the internet ESPN...

Not giving an almost 40 year a 100mil contract for TWO years is stupid even if it is LeBron

Bronny gonna be the starting Guard LOL 😂

Imagine saying you want to win a championship (with millions already in the bank) then turning around to sign this type of contract which completely hampers your team’s options..

Thank goodness! That means I won’t be watching for another 2 years! Awesome 😎👍🏼

So basically no championship for the Lakers for at least the next two seasons

Lebron will pull the same circus move in 2 years when he hit free agency and bryce get drafted to the league and lebron and bronny might follow his team

Witnessing the empathy and understanding exchanged is heartening, restoring faith in humanity.🔥

Bro is taking up 35% of their salary cap.. this is about to be the 2013-14 Lakers all over again 😂

Daam. Last time LeBron passed on DeMar, Russell Westbrook was getting booed at home games while DeMar was starting for the allstar game. Not saying he’s still that but he’s never had the benefit of being the third option and one could only imagine all the open mid range shots he would’ve been splashing. Plus he lead the league in mins last year and everybody knows LeBron and AD ain’t playing no 82. You can forget that. Also DeMar is good in the 4th which we also know the Lakers desperately need. He would’ve been good with Bronny like he was with Ayo, especially with Bonny looking to separate himself a little bit. Now besides his dad, who can he chop it with… DLo snitching as? Austin Reeves? C’mon. And just the motivation DeMar would’ve gotten by being home in LA would’ve definitely been a benefit. Not DeMar’s #1 fan but I know he’s a good dude and I know he could’ve helped the Lakers out. Definitely as much as Klay, if not even more. Might not hit 3’s but he’s definitely more consistent. He definitely wouldn’t be getting benched. Just saying. Now I hope he goes to the Clippers just to see how it would play out.

WOW.. that's the highest father-son duo contract ever.. well deserved Bronny.

This guarantees that they're a play in team, at best

I thought he was gonna say "Just 6 days after drafting Bronny James, Lebron has signed a new deal!" 😂😅

No trade clause plus player option in year 2 of a 2 year Max deal is crazy work. It's like the Lakers don't care about having any options or power over their own roster. Good luck JJ!

Either Lebron has incriminating photos of Rob Pelinka, or someone is trying to go into business with him after he retires from basketball, that is the only excuse for all this nuttiness

LeSalty by not taking a paycut.

It's going to take a miracle for the lakers to win

Lakers used to be really good during offseason signing free agent. These days, they are known for signing inexperience coach and drafting most hyped up 2nd round pick.

He is worth the money. He has earned it. I wish more money was available when Mike and past legends played be because they could have received the same financial reward. The last 2 years of his career will be interesting.

Lebron and Rich Paul now working on getting Bryce and Savannah on the roster for next year.

He couldve done the funniest thing and said Cleveland im coming home and left bronny in LA 🤣

We winning it all this season adding JJ will be game changer

Overpay Lakers did the same with Kobe…obviously they didn’t learn

This is why Tim Duncan is the GOAT, because when all the other players pretend about winning, Duncan actually sacrificed his own wealth to win more titles. Something Lebron would never really do

Breaking news,nobody's coming to play with team LeBron 😅😅😅

Bron has got Jeannie out of her vase. Bron be in her don't be amazed.

Lakers won't even make playoffs

LeBron clearly doesn't care about winning. That's the difference between Brady and LeBron, Brady would've signed for 30 million giving the team 20 million to add another good player.

If you're still a Lakers fan while Lesteroid James is currently there, you're tripping ‼️

So all the money for Lefail?

Yall are hypocrites lmao when kobe signed a 2 year 82mio deal when he was way past his prime no one said anything. Not even being close to making the playoffs and no one said he should take a paycut etc. the bron hate is ridiculous lmao this franchise has been a laughingstock for soo long way before bron got here. If not for him we would have been stuck with lonzo and kyle kuzma lmao

i think he waited to see if the lakers ofifce signed a great player before he signed that max deal..on the other hand, $50+ million a yr is insane..if i owned the lakers i would of let him go and get 2 maybe 3 players who can put up somewhat similiar numbers at a lower cost

Where's the paycut?

40 years old and still getting max contracts🐐if he’s not the goat I don’t know who is

The king is back 👑

Glad it's only a two year deal. Would've been better if it was only 1 year

why are they paying this dude the max?

Lebron can opt out next year and sign a bigger max deal with the new CBA and higher salary cap space

Declining his player option to sign a team friendly deal costing the team 600k more a year should really help bring in some reinforcements

So I guess they weren't able to find another player to sign with the Lakers.

Deal includes a “do as i say” clause.

So who’s gonna be at fault when they in 7th place?

We just need a real center honestly so AD can roam.

"This team isn't going to be able elevate this roster" ...."yeah but you still have LeBron James though" 😅😅😅 The ignorance & Idiocy smh. I can't wait until LeBron leaves the Lakers. It's been hard rooting for my team

So much for that pay cut to bring in better talent

LeBron signs max contract at near 40 and got his son drafted Big W

I thought he was taking a 30 million dollar pay cut 😂😂😂😂

One last NBA championship run with the Lakers for Lebron. Well, you have your son on your team so good luck!!!

Nobody, as a third option, wants to play with him. Thompson gone to the Mavs, harden still with the clippers. Another play in finish

Lakers need to bring back Julius Randle. At one point, Luke Walton said he was the best on-ball defender in the NBA. Julius could very well be the Anti-Jokic.

LeBron was already in one “Trainwreck,” this one will be far more entertaining to watch 😂

Insane! Then Lakers want to sign Derozan for 3/35k

Well he at least tried to take less to get another guy. But when all the guys are gone you may as well take the bag 😂

As Lakers has no action on trade markets these 3days ,LBJ will not cut his salary ...Then ,sign with Maximum salary ..

Lakers signed Lebron James 2x 🤯

Max deal. Smh.

He’s holding that last year off for wherever Bryce goes. He’s already in the GOAT debate which no player can ever be considered the aggregates but it can’t be taken away either… He’s simply in now for his sons, not accolades, but he is a competitor.

The fan boy attitude from Alan in this is insane, he’s acting like they never had Bron in the first place 😂

Tatum just got a 5-year max contract of 315Million$ - that's $62.8 million per year. Tatum is better than LBJ right? Right ? Tatum Stats : PTS 26.9REB 8.1AST 4.9 FG%47.1 LBJ Stats : PTS 25.7REB 7.3AST 8.3 FG%54.0 - This dude is 40

Caleb Martin could have been a nice pickup with that limited amount...Rob just didn't want to

Man go sign Dwight or Boogie and they will be fine

This happens when a player is the ring leader of a circus! They needed a veteran head coach that commands respect.

They got a better coach. JJ is underrated in my opinion. I think everything is perfect.
