If Bron told LA he wanted a lesser salary to bring in help (which is my entire point nikka, YOU'RE the one that brought up taking a "pay cut"), why the fukk would the union have a problem with a player initiated contract negotiation?
Are you aware of the money LeBron is supposedly getting next season for a single year??
Head room is head room.
Being able to even attract a $20 million player is helpful. That takes other teams out the mix if you have the cap space. Entire problem with us now is we never have cap space, so teams outbid us and players take the bread.
Do you honestly think Monk wants to go to cowbell country if we could have afforded to pay him?
Y'all wilding up in here
