It was something that Jerry Buss started and Jeannie Buss has continued. And so do I believe that they wouldn't give LeBron what he wanted? I don't necessarily believe that. However, when you opt out of your contract, you know, it's time for negotiation. Now he was a second team, all NBA player this year. They've never really negotiated with him to give him what he wanted.
But if he thinks that the Lakers may want to try to offer him less or not give him the no trade clause, he could, in theory, just opt into his contract. And so, and he could just say, I'm opting into my contract because I'm taking it year to year and not indicate that there was any issue with the Lakers. But I do not think it's in the cards that he's taking less money.

It's not that necessarily he wants every dime, although he does want every dime. I don't think he believes that free agency has got anybody in it where if he takes less money that the Lakers could go use their mid-level and have a transformational player.

They may disagree with that, and they may come to him with a plan where they show him that if you take $12 million less, we can sign this guy, and maybe he'll change his mind. But as far as I know from my conversations โ The intention is for him to continue to make all of the max, which he has earned.

Yeah, you can be nice to me. Just, you know, you can say something if you don't like it. Fine. But just, you know, I don't like necessarily having stuff thrown at me or having people put their hands on me in that way.

But, hey, I just want to say to Knicks fans, that was a wonderful, wonderful night for the Knicks fans. Being inside the garden for that game was amazing. There was pure euphoria there. And, um, let that be what the memory is of that. Not, you know, these punk kids who were, you know, frankly stoned and, uh, you know, had nothing better to do at 1230 in the morning. They're high on the weed. Yes.
