Tyler Watts, reporting for Lake Show Life;
The Los Angeles Lakers are forcing LeBron James to choose between taking a pay cut and finding a new team. The franchise is prioritizing a long-term deal for Austin Reaves in free agency. They are building around Luka Doncic and want AR to be his co-star for years to come. In the NBA’s current cap landscape, it is unrealistic to have three max contracts. LeBron will have to sacrifice or find a new home.
I guess that “The Lakers take care of their superstars.” does not apply with Lebron’s situation. Lebron will either go to another team that’s ready to pay him or take a massive paycut to stay with the Lakers.
