Has any "Super Star" ever been scammed as much as AD

Lebron / Rich Paul convince him to go about leaving NOLA in the worst possible way. I mean, CP3 did it but we expected it and it wasn't a bad breakup


Lakers trade their future so Lebron can win now. No young talent, no future picks. Who cares what happens in 3 years right?


Now Lebron/Lakers convince AD to forgo $4,000,000



This is bullying on another level

I’m sure to AD it will all be worth it if he wins a ring.

He's a beta. I took his career silence as professionalism. Turns out he's a moron.

You just usually don't see guys of his caliber get thrown around like a pawn

The only scam was him wasting 7 years with a farm team.

No, the only scam here is Rich Paul and his stupid hats. If anybody signs with Klutch after the AD debacle, they are asking for career suicide

Ah, as opposed to the model franchise the Lakers have been over the last 7 years.

I'm sure his Space Jam 2 salary will include the lost 4 million.

What people fail to realize about these super teams is that you still need role players to compete for the title.

Even Golden State had some of their low key players contribute during the playoffs, as did the Heat when LBJ was there.

The Lakers roster will seemingly be 3 stars and a bunch of people that are bagging groceries today (inb4 John Starks)

If it does, the Lakers are going to get fricked by the NBA because they would be circumventing the salary cap.


AD getting endorsements is one thing. Getting a huge check other players don’t from a LeBron-allied production is going to get Count Orlok to sit up and take notice.

In theory, the league having 40% of its players as FAs this offseason means that there should be more players than money to pay them, so cheap guys are available.

In practice, Rob Pelinka is the one nominally in charge of picking which players to sign. Remember LeBron next to Rondo, Stevenson, and Beasley last season?

Pretty sure whoever told Ricky Williams that wearing a wedding dress with Ditka on the cover of ESPN magazine was a good career move might have the advantage?

When Lebron retires and your team is terrible and this "farm team" is collecting all your high draft picks year after year, just remember you did it to yourself and you were even excited about it.

Word. Even the Raptors had a different player step up in the Finals every game. A big 3 where 2 have major health concerns trying to play nearly 100 games at high minutes per game is a disaster waiting to happen.

The 4 million was his payout to wear 23. You don't think Lebron gave it to him for nothing.
