There is a plausible but unlikely scenario where LeBron James doesn’t start for Team USA — indicative of the challenge facing Steve Kerr to pick a lineup and find playing time for 12 stars at the Olympics, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/56120… – 10:11 AM

A look at the Lakers post LeBron signing
I don’t anticipate the Lakers being a second apron team this offseason, and if they are, there’s always the waive and stretch option (or of course a trade) to gain more flexibility. youtu.be/iX1yEzl1pPc?si… – 3:43 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
I may be wrong, but I wonder if a potential upside to LeBron signing this max now is that it ceases whatever pressure on the Lakers to close deals with players targeted by LeBron that specifically require that MLE. With that as less of a force, perhaps their approach widens. AK – 2:26 PM

Anil Gogna @AnilGognaNBA
Why would LeBron be interested in taking a pay cut to help the Lakers stay below the 2nd Apron?
During the season a 2nd Apron team will incur certain roster building restrictions (over & above the 1st Apron restrictions) such as:
• No access to the MLE or BAE
• Inability to – 12:35 PM

CBA notes on the LeBron James contract
🏀The Over 38 rule limits him to a contract of 3 years or less.
🏀Was eligible for a no trade clause because of the 8 and 4 year rule. 8 years in the NBA and 4 years with the same team.
🏀His first year salary can exceed the 10 years of – 12:01 PM

From Woj’s story about LeBron’s new deal. I’d be surprised if LeBron ultimately doesn’t take this $1M discount because a) why even let it become public if you’re not willing and b) if LBJ cares about help, he needs the Lakers under the 2nd apron more than he needs that mil.

Sam Amick @sam_amick
Why not the Lakers? LeBron offered the pay cut. He had a good convo with JJ Redick. His father, Mychal, wanted him to come.
But the Mavs, who had far less money and a dimmer spotlight, offered a real chance at a fifth title. More here, at @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/56135… – 10:01 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
LeBron’s max would put the Lakers about $2 million over the second apron level, depending on Bronny’s salary.

LeBron James now is assured of being the first player in NBA history to cross the $500 million mark in on-court earnings.
He needed about $20 million to get there; he’ll make about $51 million this season.

Here is the Lakers offseason if LeBron James signed for the maximum allowed.
Los Angeles would need to shave roughly $25M (and maybe more) of salary to have access to the $12.8M non-tax mid-level exception.
Any sign-and-trade also hard caps the Lakers at the $178.1M first pic.twitter.com/SfE30lxlVI – 4:21 PM

“The biggest thing, other than health, that we’re gonna see that is going to determine when the end of LeBron’s career is is when the owners of the league set forth a timeline about when they’re gonna establish that expansion team in Las Vegas,” Windhorst argued. “I suspect once the TV rights deals get wrapped up … they’re gonna bring expansion to the table.” Windhorst emphatically said, “He wants to partner with partners to become the face of the franchise in Las Vegas.” Whether LeBron’s grand plan comes together remains to be seen, and there’s been an awful lot of talk over the years about potential expansion to Las Vegas. But Windhorst is right: James has positioned himself to pursue ownership after his playing career is done. But, as always, we’ll see how it all shakes out. -via Awful Announcing / July 5, 2024
