@ this thread right nowThis is dumb and you know it lmao. NO PLAYER IN THE NBA IS TAKING A 10 15 or 20 million paycut. You are smarter than this. IT WOULD NEVER HAPPENDo you notice how you changed the parameters of the argument?
Now you're saying 15 million, when earlier you said 20 million, which was my position.
If Bron and AD negotiated for 20 million less, how much would we be over the cap?
Answer the question, since you jumped in this conversation my nikka
It's a hypothetical that has spiraled because y'all looking for a scapegoat for your anger at tonight's loss. And for the millionth time, we're not talking about a PAY CUT. We are talking about a player-negotiated team friendly deal that allows the team more headroom to bring in other guys (or retain them, in the case of Monk, which is what started all this)
Stop dodging the point, and since you're quoting it (and dapping his dumb ass post), how about YOU answer the question.
If Bron negotiated for 30 million instead of 50 million per year, and AD went for a similar deal, how much would we be under the cap?
I have another-- how many players are making 50 million a year in the NBA?
Don't worry, I'll answer. One: Steph Curry.
What's his team's record, again?

You right breh. 2 all-star players should both take $20 million+ paycuts so the most valuable franchise in the league can overpay Malik Monk after getting cheap with Ty Lue and Alex Caruso. Makes perfect sense.
You are trying to dice words by saying team friendly deal when a players MARKET value is something else. If your value is 50 million and you take a deal for 30 million that is a paycut plain and simple. Especially because we know another team would pay the 50. You not even being honest.

I noticed you dodged the question because you got corrected. That's fine.
In any case, yes, they got cheap with Caruso, but again, that is also something that could've been rectified with taking team friendly deals.
I'm arguing the mindset should change. I have no idea why y'all are arguing for the status quo when that's done nothing but hurt this team. I'm completely aware that it's unrealistic; that wasn't the point of anything I've stated.
I simply think LeBron should focus more on winning titles than making the most amount of money he can in his twilight years.
Good.Reeves was getting abused defensively against Fox
I hate how Reaves is overrated.
And there are fools who think he should be on the Olympic squad
No, you're bullshytting now, because you just realized you never understood what I was talking about.
You're trying to change the definition of a pay cut to suit your argument, but you can't "cut" what isn't there: if the negotiations started and ended with 30m, there is no "cut" that was made.
LeBron has NEVER been offered 50 million a year. This will be his highest per year salary in his entire 21 year career (it'll be his 22nd year). How could you argue that 50m is his next-year market value if he didn't get offered that in his prime???
You could make the argument that LeBron should get paid 50 million. I actually agree. But that's not what's being argued here; he's never gotten that kind of money before, so saying that's his "market value" is a nonsensical thing to say.
And I do enjoy 10bandz, the soundcloud rapper Kobe-stan that HATES LeBron and wants him off the team, is dapping this post, arguing that LeBron should be paid 50m by the Lakers next season, when we're a 10th seed this year.
This nikka turns down fades but will cheerlead anyone I'm arguing against, even if they said 2+2= apple.
I didn't answer the question, because I assumed you could add and subtract. My bad.I noticed you dodged the question because you got corrected. That's fine.

I mean if we're just shooting the sh*t with unrealistic options. Why stop with paycuts? Lakers should just trade Reaves and D-Lo for Jokic and Luka. Have them negotiate smaller salaries while they're at.
Yes, I can.
The correct answer was "they would be UNDER the salary cap", something you couldn't say because it completely nullified your argument.
You couldn't stand on what you said. I get it. I tend to have that effect.
We'd have to start with pay cuts to stop with pay cuts.
You know, because we're not talking about a pay cut.
Again, you are arguing semantics. I said 50 because that's what he's getting paid now. 50 was the max he could sign for and he did. Of course the next contract is going to be for more, the cap is going up. He's never going to sign for less than the max he can be offered. That's his value. No one in the NBA is signing for less than the max of what they are offered as a superstar.No, you're bullshytting now, because you just realized you never understood what I was talking about.

No, I'm not. YOU ARE.
I'm being specific, talking about a specific thing. You are trying to generalize that thing, to make an opposing point. That is what "arguing semantics" is and means.
Again, I'm describing a hypothetical. I have no idea why you two are arguing what is currently happening to a person arguing this SHOULDN'T be happening.
Do you think I think this discussion will change the parameters of LeBron's contract in real life?
I'm arguing that your hypothetical is dumb because it would never happen. There are no instances in the NBA of any superstar taking a quarter of there value paycut to make contracts work. That's why it's a silly argument to begin with.No, I'm not. YOU ARE.

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:
Dirk Nowitzki Passes Up Most Money In NBA History
The $72 million Nowitzki left on the table itself is larger than almost all NBA contracts.
