00:00The whole thing is super weird to me.

00:06Him being willing to take $20 million, right?

00:09I mean it's certainly seemingly super generous of him.

00:15The idea though that the Lakers are going to be a second apron team then is the most

00:18ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

00:20If LeBron was willing to take $20 million to get a key guy, you're telling me he's not

00:24willing to leave $2 million on the table to make sure they're not in the second apron?

00:28At that point, it's kind of been on him.

00:33Everybody is aware the second apron at this point is just a disaster.

00:37They really have created a hard cap in this league.

00:40Nobody's going to try.

00:41Everyone is trying to get away from that second apron.

00:44I get LeBron will be helping them out by taking the million or two million less, but he's

00:50not going to do that.

00:53I don't...

00:54It's very, very hard to believe.

00:56That's why when I'm on Fanspo doing little trades, they're like, Lakers are a second

00:59apron team.

01:00I'm like, I disagree.

01:03I don't believe you.
