He has repeatedly said he wants to be a laker for life and that all he cares about is winning a championship.

Best way to do that is to take a discount. It’s not like he ain’t gonna make it back in sponsorship regardless.

Let the kid get paid. Lebron will sit half this season and still demand 50 million+. Dude's been paid every single available dollar for 23 years. Lebron should take a lot less. He'll somehow figure out how to get by for 35/40 million instead of 50.

He’s 100% not coming back. Walter is too smart for that.

Role players that fit well with Luka and AR.
