Parabellum 3rd String

Isn't that far off of what they paid Max Lewis (their 2nd round pick last year who was a sophomore put of Pepperdine). He got a 4 year $7.64 million deal. Just saying that this seems to slot in for the Lakers pay scale.

Not likely. He'll start the first home game. Be around for marketing etc.

They consider that part of their payment to keep LeBron.

I'm fine with it as long as lebron stops telling us his son has earned his way

It’s weird that you expect people directly involved to admit it’s nepotism

Their last name wasn’t James and wasn’t nearly as valuable.

He’s going to the G league after the first few weeks of the regular season.
