Unc & Ocho debate if LeBron James should sign long-term extension with Lakers | Nightcap 

Ikr he"s doing a good job!!!

Bron isn't a max player anymore. He was gassed in the playoffs in round 1 and can't play consistent defense anymore.

@@upfulsoul826gassed and still either the first or second best player on his team ever playoff game it’s not just about winning it’s about selling tickets too still a business too Lebron brings a lot of money

@@dolphin_fed743 not either, just second best player, but not even the best second player. he scores but that destroys the flow and he dont play defense. he gotta retire.

The Lakers do pay the tax lol. It's not for the team to get under the cap its so they can pay better players who don't have lebron's off court revenue streams that can't afford to take less on an nba deal.because they aren't billionaires like Lebron

@@mserikatodoh you were not watching the games, zero chance

Say it louder for the ones in back

Yup that’s how it works Lebron gets excuses made for him, Kobe gets the hate. Which is why I think it’s funny people try to bring up Kobes MVPs when trying to compare

Even if that’s true, lebron has taken a pay cut before when many players at the apex of their body/career wouldn’t

Scream it one more time plz!!!!!

This got nothing to do with Kobe lol nice try tho

You damn right LeBron should get everything he deserves for himself and his family.

😂 hes already got 1.5 billion dollars. Even max contract is chump change to him at this point. He should take a pay cut and get some good players.

Real

No

Every time These 2 Are My Thereapist

Ocho basically had his choice lol you’re shocked?

@@jasonphillips7960kinda. Cuz the kids. But they are all grown now

yea, she’s naturally pretty and seems down to earth.

Weirdo

Career high three point percentage too.

Shows how trash the league is.

Lakers are dedicated to Lebron, he leaves they are dead in the water. He will never have to give a discount.

Shannon dumb logic max money to a guy that's gotten the max like 6 times in his career at this point is about making money or winning I'm confused if he wants the bag then his team will always be ass it's that simple can't win with him being the best player and highest paid

Forreal, in regular job situations we are not worried about the legacy that we are going to leave behind, that is literally a job just to get a check and bounce. Whereas LeBron wanted to be the goat, in order to do that, he has to win more championships than he currently has. Shannon talking about “take one for the team”. Even if you’re making $150,000, that’s not 50 million. LeBron can make no money on his NBA contract, I’m talking veteran minimum, and it would not affect him in the slightest. I’m sure he’s invested as money in real estate and other profitable ventures, not saying he should do the vet minimum, but really he could afford to, do a $25 million a year contract and there would be nothing lost for him. Maybe Shannon is doing this angle because his checks paid from Klutch is possible because of that NBA salary 😂

Why can't he do both? This off season there was plenty of small trades that could have been done. It's the front office job to figure that out. If you took less at you job, that's more money for them to higher other people

​@jordanrandolph9868 would more money have made Darvin a better coach? Would it have made them trade the I've picks before the deadline?

​@MaximusR93 he feels he is the greatest. At that point does he? If it's about rings shouldn't Kareem and Bill be ahead? More accomplishments and same amount of rings or more

Like right? Would regular people take a paycut? Like bro Lebron could never earn another dollar and still like 1,000 times better than I could ever hope to.

​@cptsketch13 you have a habit of saying like when you don't need too say it

@@perrycoffey5410 fair my bad

Lebron is a real Billygoat. LBJ is as much a billionaire as MJ. Propaganda is a word Lebron haters use. Big bank always beats little bank. He's the first active player to become a billionaire. Instead of being proud of a black man reaching incredible heights from a single mom household, you'd rather spew negativity and hatred.

@@WilbertCarter billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Or unless you’re lebron.. who’s practically a billionaire, his kids have their own endowments, wife got her own business.. why tf he need a max?😂😂 No one said he doesn’t deserve it.. but if you wanna be the goat, you not getting it on your current salary with our current roster.

@@puppychow1000I mean if he does that….the haters new excuses he’s on a stack team ofc he’d win bs bro got 4 rings it is what it is bill russle got 11 and Jordan got 6 legoat not getting close to 11 rings no time soon 😭

Bruh you know dam ain’t nobody making ANY amount of money is taking a dam pay cut so why should athlete take one?!

@@icedwhaticed Tim Duncan did it in the trail end of his career, got another ring.. Jordan did it during his second 3 peat, and lebron even did it when he went to Miami, got 2 rings.. So seems like taking a small pay cut to get some better help is the way to go huh 🙂

Hachimura, Reaves, Gabe Vincent are all making good money. D’Lo too. They just didn’t do much. Bradley Beal makes 50 million a year, he didn’t do anything for the suns. It’s not about pay cuts it’s about getting bigger wing players. Because it’s Jamal Murray and MPJ that’s killing them.

Damn you make 60 k? I'm a manager making 45

@@dustinboskovich2506 you’ll hit 100k man, keep grinding and doing right for yourself. You got this.

Exactly Shannon as broke as he grew up should understand this

yeah the avg person taking that kind of cut could mean the difference between eating or being homeless.

Hell naw for what?

Yeah, you really can’t make an argument that he cares about being the goat that much, if he’s not willing to do what’s necessary to sign better players. I don’t know why he thinks he needs more help all the time if he’s not willing to do that.

You letting Rob palinka off the hook completely.

He wants to own a team one day, that’s why he doesn’t take pay cuts, he’s trying to accumulate as much cash as he can before the expansion teams come

Collective bargaining he can only sign for so much less anyway. You can’t dip so far below your market value just to sign other players. So what kind of pay cut could he take within the parameters of the CBA that would bring the lakers back a player they need to compete?

@@MaximusR93 which big players taking payouts right now? Joker no Tatum & brown no Giannis no steph no

😂😂wtf are you talking about

​@chadbutler8634 My comment is related to the LeBron pay cut statement that was in the video, along with the analogy Shannon gave. Players want to win championships, but also want to take up an absurd amount of cap space that could have been used to better their chances at winning. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

@@SirNafurious thank you! lol these people glaze these athletes without thinking. The athletes are being disingenuous😂

​​@@chadbutler8634ain't it funny how these people are so adamant about what others should be paid for their work? Companies literally bottomed out or sell their stock when it is about to split so they can maximize the most out of what the executives could cash in before the employees can, but he's trying to say that white collar, privileged folks don't think about "winning". If you can get ALL the money that you can, then do it right when it's available & pay people who have never played professional sports little attention. They've never dealt in money like that & never will. Additionally, it's usually the AGENTS who are nudging towards maximize these contracts because they will get paid a lot more for making that happen. Being an agent and bargaining less money for talent, so that some randoms in a random city can he happy, isn't going to put money on the table for that agent once it's all said and done...incentives or whatever else he damned. That's a bad business strategy for agents and lawyers who are worth their salt unless a talent specifically expresses that desire to do so, which is where people like the ones in this thread try to browbeat and start bloviating about how much money these athletes should be making. And I can't help but notice that they are the most vocal when it comes to brothers getting these high value contracts and deals. I wonder why?

Hachimura and Gabe Vincent make a lot more than 5 million dollars a year. They weren’t averaging 15 points per game either.

It ain't about winning for him anymore

But taking a pay cut doesn't guarantee that they spend that money on other players. That's why players team up and go places together so they know what's going to happen.

Taking a pay cut doesnt mean they can land who he or they want target to pair with him😂stop it

He doesn’t make $30-$50 billion a year lmao he’s wrong

Billionaires existing in the first place is absolutely ridiculous.

@@dre3k78my thoughts exactly!

It says he makes 45.8 million per day off investments

​@@dre3k78Why?

You saying bs empty calories what about defense missed games playing when he wants destroying the rosters stop it la is his last stop 🛑

He randomly sits out games all the time, he plays no defense, he does not care about winning cause he knows he’ll never get blamed when we lose, he’s going to cost 50 to 60 million for a player who can no longer be the best player on a championship team. It’s a terrible investment I hope he leaves

It's okay for Jordan and kobe to have a win now mindset, u either goin to help win a championship or we don't need u. And with the wear and tear on running on that concrete, no player need to play 82 games at the pace they are going up and down the floor now days
