Dirk was nowhere NEAR a superstar at that point dog. Cook man, you seem convinced that this hypothetical makes sense when it really doesn't and you know it doesn't.That's a tautology.
Besides I never asked you or anyone else "would this happen". I'm saying this SHOULDN'T happen. What part are you not understanding??
You shouldn't speak in absolutes, especially when you don't know what you're talking about:

Lol, we're not talking about whether someone was a superstar you said "market value", right?
That article clearly states Dirk's value was a certain amount, and he turned it down so that his team could be better positioned, the literal thing I'm arguing, and something you claimed never happened.
It happened. All you gotta do is admit you were wrong on that point, your pride is getting in the way fam. We just talking. I'm not going to hold it against you.
But... it literally is something that has been done before, and it DOES make sense:
LeBron takes less money, Lakers have more wiggle room. That's 1+1=2.
Man that was hard to watch, to blow a lead like that 
You were saying???
This bum ass team will never go anywhere with AD still here. Any euro big with talent dominates him. He’s 0-14 his last 14 games against Sabonis and Jokic. He can only dominate against undersized bigs.
The Jokic/Sabonis matchup is very concerning for AD.. he also has been hit or miss against Nurkic this year when he usually dominates. He struggles against Zubac as well

Yet you got clowns saying we'll beat the Nuggets and Clippers.
This team would be lucky to get out of the play in.
Nuggets are better, but I think it's 50/50 against the ClippersYet you got clowns saying we'll beat the Nuggets and Clippers.

Sure.
90% of these points are on Reaves.Reeves was getting abused defensively against Fox
The other thing is since AD didnt wan't to play like that it was a free shot at the basket for a layup too.
Game showed why Vando being out is huge, Reaves/Prince/Dlo can't hide away on defense.

You have a problem with Laker fans? Stay out the thread. You nikkas that follow LeBron everywhere are annoying

Ham didn't want to play Christie, who did the best job on Fox and Monk. He also never trapped Fox. Look how many times he came off a screen with a full head of steam.
Just an atrocious coach.
I don't believe that.
I accepted Bron from day one, and was always hoping he'd come here since the Miami days
Not all of us feel that way about LeBron. I've been his fan since St Vincent St Mary.
Besides, he tied up Boston for us. He's a real Laker.
