Well then you'd lose out on a ton of $$ going into your pockets. This is a business, and the Buss kids aren't about to throw away millions of $'s just because

 

[Miggs]

Is he on pace to be the all-time scoring leader this season? if so I wont even lie....Lakers probably are better off resetting once lebron and westbrook are free agents....Besides at this point Lebron Im not sure if hes worth the extras you have to give him.

By that time nobody is gonna wanna go there.....Its better to try and move him and get someone to play with AD.....Post Lebron you have AD and Kendrick Nunn ? Its gonna be the mid 90s Lakers before Shaq....a wasteland.

The path to contending in 3 years is moving LeBron if you let him walk you have nothing on the roster except Davis....id rather contend in 2-3 years as opposed to a short term cash grab and being a 9th seed....

our best hope is the warriors lose this series and bron asks to go there. dude has been begging for steph's validation. trade his ass for wiseman and kuminga.

 

[Greenhornet]

yeah people are wildin talking about money

if you fizzle out you lose huge long term money compared to only a year or two and risk of not even making the playoffs again

people still havent brought up Clippers coming back too as competition out there
realistically, you'd want to talk to Lebron and make shyt smooth so he comes back around and supports the franchise in the future... you make more from that then crashing the franchise (again)

 

[duckbutta]

If you're the Lakers why would you want him to re-sign?

Because before Lebron got there the lakers were one of the 3 worst teams in the nba for what...3 or 4 years?

Coli crew laughed at me when I said Bron trying to head to northern cal.. if he sign that extension lakers are fukked on the salary cap and won’t be able to improve their roster…

He’s out of there in a trade( he won’t approve of leaving Cali so that’s dead in the water) or he play out his final year and go to HS on a vet minimum

Bron to the Kings

The move is to get rid of Anthony Davis clearly (if you're going that route). Brah wtf has ever made you think he'd be a #1 on a championship level team before or after 2020.

Bron with a decent supporting cast gives you much more of a chance than AD and a decent supporting cast.

If you wanna go that route then it's not even a question. You wanna build for the future? Trading AD makes sense cause Bron about to hang it up in a few years anyway. Any way you slice it, comes down to trade AD and keep Bron (if you wanna go that route)

They’re gonna make a ton money regardless

 

[HabitualChiller]

Trade him. Start the rebuild

Rebuild with what?

Lakers won't have a quality draft pick until 2027
