LeBron James took a $2.7 million discount to help the Lakers stay under the dreaded second apron.
On what it means and a couple of names to watch for if LA can clear enough space in a salary-dumping trade to use their taxpayer mid-level exception: nytimes.com/athletic/56213… – 1:40 AM

I’m not saying these two facts are connected but…
LeBron James took almost a $3 million pay cut and helped the Lakers avoid the second apron after they drafted Bronny James and gave him a four-year, $7.9 million deal. – 12:34 AM

Contract for LeBron James, two-years $101.35M, according to sources. James was eligible for $104M but gave back close to $3M. The savings puts the Lakers below the second apron. – 12:17 AM

DeMar DeRozan and LeBron James.
The only 2 players in NBA history to lead the league in minutes per game in Year 15 or beyond.
DDR’s clutch shot making might only be second to his understated ironman mentality.
It’s a weird fit in Sacto but awesome they’re making the swing. – 11:30 PM
