Gilbert Arenas Tells LeBron James To LEAVE Los Angeles
And will the Lakers do right by LeBron or will this season get nasty? What do you mean do right by him? What does that mean? Let him end his Laker tenure prestigiously. Will LeBron be on the Lakers this season? What else is Will Brownie be on the Lakers this season? It did. Year 23. They only play Bronnie James ain’t going nowhere. He only played 113. We good. We good with that one. Um, you sure? Listen, at this point, man, new ownership group at this point is it’s it’s it’s reality. Like, if the ideal is going back home, I mean, just just no bias. If the ideal is going back home to retire as a calf, makes perfect sense. Um, this is year 23, right? So, you know, this is more of his legacy than it is, you know, what fans want to see, right? And if this is his last year, I’m pretty sure that it makes more sense to be a Cleveland Cavalier to give you a farewell tour to your city 41 games and then you’re visiting everyone else. You know, it all depends on how you want the legacy. this is not your last year and you’re trying to, you know, um win a championship. Um, you can try here with, you know, the Lakers and then sign as a free agent over there and then do that. So, it all depends on what you’re trying to do, you know, either way. Um, you got to do it this summer. You’re not going to wait until you start the season off and then try to trade them midway. Uh, Braun has a no trade clause, so we’d have to wave that to make any of these deals possible. See, that’s that sounds right. LeBron has a no trade clause. That’s LeBron and Bradley Bill both sound right. No trade clauses. The two tra No trade clauses. Jackson Hayes, if he did have that clause still, but he telling us to enjoy Fourth of July, [ __ ] please. You know, you know, you know the NBA season’s over with. You know when the NBA season’s over with, we crank up the views, bro. It’s LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and then that that light-skinned [ __ ] be hiding. But we be trying to hit the the curry button, but we can’t find him during during the summer. Waiting for the Warriors to do something. We can’t we be trying. We can’t find him during the summer. Then the other light-skinned one somewhere in Monk City, so it’s too young for that. But other than that, he’s on the golf course. LeBron James Button, Kevin Durant Button has been working for 22 years. We ain’t going to stop this year. It is a nice All right. The greatest uh that’s it, man. We what we going to talk what football? What we going to talk the WNBA? We just got Clay the Carter. So we got to we got to get used to that one. We got to get used to the black and white. You know, is is it Michael Jackson black or white? We get we just getting used to that one any time. But that look like a good button too when it’s slow in there. Clayton Clark ain’t for sure. For sure. We can hit the button. That’s a new button. We ain’t used to that button right now. right now for 22 years has been LeBron James in in July and August, September and Kevin Durant. It’s been it’s been working for us. Why would we stop now? Every time Brown step out, what you step out what you doing there, [ __ ] What did I miss? Got a welcome. What did I miss? What did I miss? Did I miss something? Did you miss anything? Missed it. What did you What did you miss? Did we miss something? Iceman. Iceman. Did we miss some [ __ ] Who would Cleveland talk about Ice Man and missing some [ __ ] Hunter, what happened? What did I miss? Oh, and the five man. You like the song? No. No, you can’t. Don’t know. You already got the five. This is a good thing to wait for. Money. They got shot. Lakers fan. What did I miss? Will the Lakers do right by LeBron or will this season get nasty? What does that mean? Do right. Year 23 brought a championship. Do right by me. You talking about the color purple do right by you with the fingers. Are you talking about that? Do right by me. Yo, you talking about that? Do do right by me. You put the two fingers on. Two fingers on a [ __ ] It’s so you mean business. You see that’s Cobra Claus like that report. Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson. Get your ass out of here. Get your ass out of here. Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson. I hate y’all. I know that. Yeah. What? What is do right by? I don’t understand what that means. Do right last season with the Lakers potentially. Uh Brian said he was digging around. I mean, he did bring a championship here. They said they treat him as an expiring contract shifting over the two timelines. Brian has said that he wanted to be on a championship level team roster. Lakers appear to be making some moves in that Jake La Robbia may not be as bad of a pickup as we first assumed. So can we explain to the people what are the potential options for the Lakers with him picking up that? So basically I mean it’s final year of his deal. So at this point once that deal expires see you later and he goes back into like unrestricted free agency. Unrestricted free agent. Is that the same thing that happened when he was in Cleveland? I think this is the first time he’s ever been in the final year of his deal. So when when he went into free agency, they signed it. It was a signing trade, right? Signing trade. He was rest he was going into restricted free agency. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So this is different now. Yeah. He’s 42. So now he picked up the option for the first time. Yep. Yep. So people still don’t know what that means. When he picks up the option, what can the Lakers do? What does that mean? Why is that a bad thing? Well, he still has all the power cuz he has a no trade clause. So he’s in the last year of this deal. ultimately you can’t trade me unless I approve of it. So, but if I do say, “Hey, holler back and take my son with me, right?” So, that’s everything still in his hands uh to an extent for for literally the next like 360 days, right? So, the whole year Yeah. So, what are we talking about is do right by is that farewell tour do right by like what? That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Deliver a competitive team that actually has the potential to win a championship. Oh, without the pay cut. While also catering to the pay cut. That’s crazy. second team all NBA selection uh this past. I would believe it if he would have took the pay cut, but it just seems weird that we can’t make no real moves. We got to pay you this bread. It don’t mean no more moves. Like Smokeoky’s mother told him. No, but they still No, but wait. No, I get I get what you saying. But think about how many more moves you could have made even on top of what you’re saying. We got what we got, but you could have gotten more. Like what? So whatever’s left, whatever is left, if he takes a pay cut, right? Yeah. If he takes a pay cut, you could literally go form another Cleveland Cavaliers super team. This the guarantee like you said the 98 if you go put him in a 98. Besides what you didn’t get, you got the top free agent of this. It a funny even at it ain’t even really this summer. Like he goes into his 53 which Okay, cool. And then next summer he’s a free agent. Yeah. Thank you. If wherever he wants to go is where he wants to go. We don’t you don’t need him. Yeah. you don’t need to get something back for him because wherever he’s going, that is his last year. So to try to sign him and trade him versus just having [ __ ] $53 million to your disposal, that’s better. And I don’t think it’ll be that full 53 though. It’ll be it’ll be some great ass money that you can do whatever you want with. You’re talking about after he’s gone. Yeah. So next summer now, like you have Aiden up, you have Luca up, and you have Austin Reeves up. So you need LeBron to just go. Luca may sign his extension in August. That’s what people think. You will want LeBron to just get off the books, right? You don’t you you don’t need to get anything back for him to just lock your books back up. What if we can go get somebody that Luca wants right now? Then you have to you have to trade him right now. I think you got somebody and then you’re going to lock that in. So that means Austin Reeves like your your your money’s locked. M like who does like think about Luca comes to the team and he don’t like what he see he’s like I need some new pieces. Well he can negotiate that when he negotiate his contract in August. That’s the point. But LeBron still going to be a part of that team. That’s why you got to wait to see what y’all going to do with these other pieces before I make my I sign my [ __ ] I want to make sure I’m going to be the one that’s in control of this [ __ ] Oh, he’s signing. But what they do have as leverage in negotiation with Luca, look, Braun’s in last year his deal. They’ve signed a bunch of guys a two-year contracts, I believe, to have the flexibility to open it up for the summer of 27. Well, Magic Johnson in control now. So, at the end of the day, it’s what Magic say. And nobody know that yet, but it’s going to come out. Magic going to be running the ship and Duka going to be happy with whatever they put together. But that 53 is going to make a lot. It’s going to make a big difference after this year. Thinking that Aiden going to be some of a centerpiece around Luca is not going to work. You don’t think Aiden is going to work with the Lakers? No. You don’t need to cuz if he opts out, look how much more money you got. Now you talking about when is um when is Jokic up? 20 what? Cuz when that money they can go after him. That’s what they that’s what I’m thinking. They making the move for him for Luka. They have so much money like you you got Luca. So they playing it right then right now. So him signing Yeah. him versus him saying you he’s locked in for two more years. You rather him say all right this is my last year under y’all books. So if you if you go into the summer, look, if you go into the summer and let’s say we got all this money and we sign, let’s say you somehow we do a trade and we get Jokic. Mhm. LeBron’s a free agent now. He can say, “Hey, I I come back for a million.” Okay. Okay. That that that’s the actual power because you’re saying they could get Joker next year. Yeah. What I’m saying is you have Joker has player option 2027. Yeah, you can. He could he could force the Knights. I’m sure they going to do that, too. Yeah. Get me out of here. Like that’s like that’s said next summer becomes the more dangerous because now you have LeBron who don’t have he don’t have to opt into nothing. He’s free then he can sign whatever he wants to sign and go anywhere he wants to go. Gotcha. Now you’re talking about you know hey I come back for two years one year. Gotcha. 1 million. Gotcha. Damn. But looking at the the current state of the Lakers, how much faith do you have in the Lakers surrounding the current big three? Luca, LeBron, Austin Reeves, the championship level, rough big four. Big four and big four and a half. Ruy like Ruy is all right for the four man. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We still can move him. You could you going to get something good though. You ain’t going to get nothing to ask. You get rid of Ry. You get rid of Ruy and Oh. Yeah. Four and a half. We four and a half. Four and a half. Big four and a half. We big four. You solid. Big four. Big four. Big four. Yeah. F. Do you have confidence in Rob Pelinka? Who? Man, I got I got I got Do you have faith in Robolinka? I got the players, bro. I got faith in the Lakers. The players, bro. Bigger than one man. Luca, Slovenia. I got faith in the Lakers and their history. Name a better come on that. JJ Re is still the coach. JJ Reic still the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Duke Dookie. Jake Laavia signing. Uh Rob Pelinka said that he is a JJ Reic type of player. Yeah, I seen him hit like 40 50 in a row. Yeah, connect. He’s trying to catch me and he’s worried. You got a long way, young fella. Connect still freezing out Bryant even in summer league. Summer league. He’s still on the team. Dr. Connect still a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s still beef. Yeah, he uh beef. Oh, it’s going to be beef forever. Personal. It’s personal. It’s 100%. You will never touch the ball while I’m on the floor, bro. You You going to get my luggage, young fell your swing, swing, [ __ ] Brownie looking all right, though. Check it. Don’t want a [ __ ] didn’t he? Oh, well, swag, I’m glad you brought that up. Speaking of brownie, I wasn’t going to talk about it, but you brought it up. You were too. You were too. That off. You were too.

Please talk about the best player of the Big East that didn’t get Drafted 🤦🏽♂️
He opted in….but he can ask for a trade
AS A LAKERS FAN WE WERE HOT GARBAGE BEFORE BRON GOT THERE
Gil be looking like why I got this 🤡 on my show 😂😂😂
Mt Rushmore
1. Jordan
2. Kareem
3. Kobe
4. Lebron
Yeah why wouldnt lebron wanna go to the team with the top record in east, still not enough help by January
Lebron is going to play 25 years with 4 rings…. Jordan won 6 in 15. Kobe won 5 in 20… they did more in less time, lebron just adding to stats now. Crying about rings now cause he wont pass them in rings
this is something that I was telling my brother that LeBron James should think about going back home
take a paycut when you're one of the best employees, make it make sense. if LeBron plays for free – who can they sign that will be championship impactful?
Go back to Cleveland please. LA doesn't want LeBron anymore
He opt in. Because Lakers management ignored his multiple years contract extension request to stay with the lakers.
What if him and Kyrie go back to Cleveland 🤔
Soon as Lebron retire or leave, Bronny getting released
LeBron take a pay cut? Did you just see how much the Lakers sold for? In a system THEY created to restrict players from their access to their TRUE earning potential, they are now asking those within the system to give more? In a system that already benefits them. They want all the control AND ALL THE CONTROL. I champion LeBron for taking control of HIS DESTINY. He is setting the tone.
Lebron ain't going nowhere this coming season no trade clause or whatever. Lakers are not contending for championship so they will keep lebron for ticket sales and tv viewership. It's simple biology!
The sorry azz lakers smoking lebron out. Im tired, hearing about lebron/lakes fuuuuuck man seriously
I can hear it now “ lebron took a pay cut just so he can stack his team”.
Iebron can leave Lukas team now
LeDiddy’s sons in here fighting the air 😂😂😂😂😂😂
At this point, LeBron, just retired bro
Please
Lebrons gonna retire soon. Chill haters
Lebron playin 25
If LeBron made 0 dollars the lakers still would be over the cap
Ofcourse his goin home the cavs are closer to winning a ring 😂😂😂😂😂 wat happen to ring culture lebron?? 🤣 this dude been chasing jordan for 23 years 🤣
LEBRON FANS PACK YOUR BAGS TIME UP!!!!!
Cleveland doesn't even look like a team that would be a fit for LeBron at this moment.
