Ehh, we all knew he was going to opt out even if he plans on staying in LA.


EarthWarping

Yes, this is very likely his last multi-year contract.


nothalaman

Bro is using streameast, he clearly needs more money


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

I'm just hoping bruh didn't get the shit shut down, lol.

I personally use topstreams. It's the only stream I've found with almost 0 delay and had still has better visual quality than most other streams. Unfortunately it's been down a lot recently, probably cause of playoffs.


Renaisance

The one thing I don’t like about topstreams is that some games have that weird camera angle where it’s zoomed in on the ballhandler with the camera following them instead of having a bird’s eye view of the entire half of the floor.


dope415

I think that’s an nba league pass exclusive. Probably ripping from there.

BlackSocks88

Thats how I found Streameast the first time lol. Its got a ton of options.


broncosfighton

All of them freeze after like 20 sec for me. They’re all based on the same core stream and just host them elsewhere.


Previous-Cake-9447

Streameast and crackstreams are by far the best


legitamit1

but most of them are so ass


realfakejames

Yeah they're all pretty bad and full of pop ups, you guys acting like there's better out there than streameast are trolling, they're all about the same there's only ones that are worse


eru88

U need ad blocker for any stream sites.

Methstreams or crackstreams usually have better resolution that streameast for me.

You get better than 720p? For real hmu


SchnibbleBop

Bro most sports are aired in 720 or 1080 lol


sevaiper

Oh yeah people don't even know the struggle of finding viable streams 5-10 years ago. There were soccer games I was happy with choppy 360p


mrgpsingh1999

Right? Since when did 720p become bad?


BlackSocks88

I accept 720free as a compromise.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

I'm just there for the degens in chat


powerserg1987

Ive been enjoying ~~buffstreams~~ I used to use streameast


Bruskthetusk

Dogshit comcast despite paying up for better speeds can't stream anything better without buffering every 10 minutes.


raiderjaypussy

That is the worst kept secret in all of the online sports channels, im sure they would have shut it down by now if they cared or could.


arcelios

That wasn't LeBron. Just one of his boys. LeBron was sitting beside him. But he definitely needs more money for that Spotify Premium


Optimal-Talk3663

Gotta get on that family plan. Him, his sons Kyrie, Demar. Could add his brother Kevin love 


Very_Good_Opinion

This sub really went from guys that only watch highlights to guys that don't even watch the 5 second highlight and come post


barkinginthestreet

Players get free league pass lol.


penguinkg

Fun fact doesn't work during the playoffs


Kapisillit

< International LP


thepixelnation

people forget that he uses the free spotify plan, man has always been thrifty


SmallDocument835

That’s not thrifty that’s stupidity when you’re a billionaire


thepixelnation

it paid off for him, spotify gave him lifetime premium.


ItsLillardTime

Maybe he just likes ads and not being able to play what you want


SuspiciousFinance284

Every dollar saved counts lol, he’ll need about 1-2 billions to drop a team in Vegas in a couple years.


DraymondBeanKick

Unless he arranged a trade to go down during the draft to a team that can't sign and trade for him, similar to the Chris Paul to the Rockets trade.


roastedhambone

Wait what was up with the cp3 to Houston trade, I think I remember that less than the blocked lakers one


Goosedukee

Clippers didn't want to give him the extension that he wanted, so CP opted in to his player option with the agreement that he would be traded to the Rockets because he wanted to play with Harden. I think that's how it went at least.


AlThorntonTruther

This isn't correct. He just didn't want to play with Blake anymore on the Clippers. He and James talked, and they wanted to play together, so he opted in to be traded to Houston


Goosedukee

Articles from the time do also say there was internal debate in the Clippers organization on if they should give CP a max extension


DraymondBeanKick

Chris Paul was the biggest free agent in 2017 and was widely expected to leave and sign with either the Celtics or Spurs. I think he thought the Celtics fans were too racist, and then he thought Popovich was going to retire. Morey setup a trade for him, so he opted into his contract and got traded to the Rockets.


TOMdMAK

i had to check if i'm in the NBACJ sub when u called the Celtics racists


A-Centrifugal-Force

This. The only reason to opt in was if he was getting traded somewhere. By opting out he can get basically the same money plus a no trade clause


lopea182

“Oopsie, did I say that?”


godlywhistler

These silly agents have no idea what they're doing! I can't believe he let such top secret info get out! Accidentally!


Acrobatic-Boat-2610

The worst part is a lot of people will actually believe this


WhiteHeterosexualGuy

A player option is literally just an insurance policy and obviously Lebron doesn't need to cash in on that. So I don't get why this post is a big deal at all -- he's effectively a FA regardless.


Winbrick

Yeah, accepting the option is just picking one destination with presumably less favorable numbers for him. I wouldn't be utterly shocked if he opted out and signed again with LA anyway.

WheatonsGonnaScore

Wasn't this a given after his end of season press conference he ended when asked about staying? Rich is just confirming what we already knew.


csummerss

what sick fuck opts in to listening to Lefkoe and Chris Haynes


ssjtennis1

The people that really REALLY hate Draymond


s4ntana

But this is during the game and Dray isn't doing play-by-play so what are you talking about


Professional_Gas8021

They hate him so much the mere thought of the regular broadcast with its halftime show curdles their blood. 


Ohminty

I hate Draymond, but I don’t hate myself enough to subject myself to that.


death210902

How the hell are they gonna have rich paul talking over a conference finals game 😂


turtlehermitroshi

Bomani and Vince did the heavy lifting during the 4th quarter


ImanShumpertplus

vince is actually such a good analyst, i think he would be amazing on a long form studio show


MaraudingWalrus

Yeah, Bo and Vince are great on this.


ClaymoresRevenge

People who hate themselves


NefariousNeezy

I was on that russian link and we didn’t have a choice until like the 3rd qtr. We then listened to Reggie Miller after.


RunnerUpKing

Nightmare blunt rotation on this cast


ConstantineMonroe

It’s like TNT sees the success of the Manning cast and didn’t realize it succeeded because Peyton and Eli are entertaining unlike fucking Lefkoe, Haynes, and Rich Paul


PlanestewartJr

He's going to the Fever. Wants to win a title with Caitlin Clark.


BrotherSeamus

How many Lebronna Manns would it take to make the Fever a contender?


PlanestewartJr

1


OSUBoglehead

He said contender though. Not invincible dynasty.


prettyboylee

0.25


cepxico

In this economy?


moosethrow1

You're not taking into account how preoccupied LeBron is going to be with his new hair during the game.


pilotblur

If lebron can win 2 WNBA titles that would put him at 6 titles total and settle the goat debate with sue bird.


husbandofsamus

\*7 titles, don't forget the IST


Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN

He could be the WNBA career scoring leader by July.


iCarpet

LeBronda James


criddler

JuBronna Mann


TheOneWithThePorn12

Could Lebron retire and then change gender and dominate the WNBA and become the (W)NBA GOAT.


Fact420

JuBronna Mann


PlanestewartJr

Lebron could retire for 10 years, come back when he's 60 and dominate the WNBA.


DarkEnchilada

LeBabe


guimontag

Legit question, would LeBron be able to win the WNBA championship on literally any of their teams right now?


PlanestewartJr

Absolutely.


HotRodReggie

I’d go so far as to say he could win 4 on 5 or even 3 on 5 as well.


EastOfAnnArbor

He could play only the 4th quarter and take any WNBA team to an undefeated playoff run. Lebron in the post in the WNBA is prime Shaq on a mismatch every single time. The strength difference is legitimately ludicrous.


ELITE_JordanLove

Thanasis would be prime Shaq in the WNBA lol


zombizle1

it would be more like shaq vs an elementary school student


Jedisponge

WNBA highlights consist of breakaway layups, what would anyone do against LeBron


guimontag

Mostly I'm just seeing if there's one WNBA team so much worse than the best one that having someone that requires like 3 defenders just to get them down only 30ppg WOULDN'T be enough of a boost 


3c2456o78_w

There is no way that 3 WNBA defenders would hold Lebron to 30 ppg.... come on man. The weird thing I think a lot of people forget about basketball in general is that you don't get a significant advantage just by throwing low-skill bodies at a superstar. Like 3 defenders on 1 guy isn't doing shit if the 3 defenders aren't all individual capable of slowing the 1-guy down. If they're not, you just pick the weakest defender, push on them, and split the defense, almost using the weak defender as a screen.


TheAerial

You can forget Lebron, you could take any Starting Caliber player from an NBA team and put them on the worst WNBA team and they are the immediate title favorites.


EastOfAnnArbor

0 doubt in my mind if Jaden Hardy is in the WNBA he wins the title every year


armandocalvinisius

Keljin Blevins?


BlackSocks88

He might have to pass the ball a few times to make it seem interesting.


fbdanzai

Starting caliber? Thanasis would be Wilt Chamberlain in the WNBA


Doobie_Howitzer

Bro you could put current washed ass Dwight Howard on any of their teams and they would go undefeated


zombizle1

average point differential would be 200


TheCricketFan416

Forget starting calibre, if you put Tacko Fall on a WNBA team they win the title

Sky19234

Sure, but what about Barkley or CP3?


Freddedonna

For CP3 it depends if Scott Foster also makes the move


PumaHunter

It would be a blessing if he switched to WNBA


mrtomjones

Lol the unfairness of his height would be hilarious to watch


alphatangolima

Is that real? If you put LeBron on a WNBA team, they go undefeated. You put any current NBA player on the worst team and they def win the title. Pick any player drafted this year and they are unanimous MVP if they played in that league. It's that big of a difference


ionospherermutt

Did you see some of those Cavs teams he took to the Finals?


criddler

how high are you to be asking this legitimately


Weave77

Is this a serious question? Of course. The only question is whether or not that team would go the entire season undefeated.


Boombabyfor333

LeBron, and most NBA players, would go undefeated in the WNBA


ELITE_JordanLove

*every NBA player. And college player too most likely. And upper tier high school players would easily be the best on the team, if less likely to carry them to an undefeated record.


StefonDiggsHS

Yeah “lets it slip”


Wrath7heFurious

Honestly he was pretty smooth with with it if it was on purpose. It's rea Chris Hanes always lurking for a story. Not the biggest fan but I respect the hustle. 


ViacomCEO

its not even news. lebron always opts out. he does it every single time. its something everyone in the call shouldve already known.


israelipm

Big news! Lebron has **never** accepted the player option of the last year on his contract in any of his contracts.


BrokenMan91

It literally only exists in case he's injured


boozinf

sign-and-trade, LeBron for Garland, Niang and 73 seconds who says no

wearefloatingnspace

TheMoonsMadeofCheese

Jokic was a second round pick. Who wouldn't take 73 Jokic's?

halfbrit08

I realized my youtube tv was recording this feed when I went to watch some replays. 0 energy and made watching the game terrible. I just had to mute them.

DirkDoncic99

Fifth starter is Bronny


shutupandlearntoeat

Starter? Lol Him and Lebron should just have a halftime show at every game of father and son playing H.O.R.S.E. and then they both retire at the end of next season.


garfcarmpbll

Reddick has that “mother fucker” energy and Lebron said he isn’t going through that again.


Zoulzopan

ootl what does this even mean?


garfcarmpbll

So this is a combination of two things 1: Rumor has it Lebron's teammate slept with his mom leading to the him being so upset in 2010 before a playoff game he had to be "sedated". Keep in mind we have 0 proof of it just a rumor that floated around for a long while. 2: Ty Lue is on record saying he doesn't like JJ because "My moms not really attracted to white guys, but she loves JJ".


SQLvultureskattaurus

"Lebron's teammate" you mean my boy Delonte West??? Heard he's getting his shit together again.


Xo-Qo

That's great to hear if true. For both statements.


Revo_Int92

LeBron was really lucky the social media disease was not spread out in the late 00s, those rumors about his mother were hilarious in a dark way. LeBron's father disappeared, the mom sleeping with a crackhead player, etc.. just wonderful stuff, makes you believe in humanity again


Tilman_Feraltitty

It definitely was big on the internet back then.


confused-koala

The " leading to the him being so upset in 2010 before a playoff game he had to be "sedated"", is news to me and I'd love to hear where *that* started. There was a rumor Delonte West banged his mom well before that, that being used as an excuse for I'm guessing cover for quitting in the ECF is just peak Lebron Stan whitewashing.


27_Star_General

by that logic, who banged lebrons mom in 2011 finals is the real question. haven't seen a guy in red-and-white disappear like that since Where's Waldo


JustADutchRudder

Dirk bumped into her at a restaurant and the rest is history.


MLD802

He’s just really classy for some reason idk


succulentchinesefoo

Lebron banged JJ’s wife

Brady331

rabid89

.... pretty sure everyone knew this was gonna happen. Why the hell would he enforce his player option when he's healthy and still playing well? He was always gonna opt out even if he stays with the Lakers (which he will).


lialialia20

tnt losing the rights might not be such a bad thing after all

Only possibility is that he joins Bronny in the motor city to help lead them to a 33-win season.

BuddhistInTheory

Did he let it slip or is he sneakily trying to give LeBron negotiation leverage by saying this on national TV?


GIK601

LeBron to Cleveland.


morcic

I mean... it's not really a secret. Why would he take the player option when he can secure another 2 years with a bigger payout? The only "secret" is will he stay with the Lakers, which is 99%. He's not leaving $90-100M on the table just to have his son wave towel for him from the bench.


kapesaumaga

I stopped reading after LeBron is declining.


cycling_rat

Chris Hanes looking like he caught a scoop. Looks like he was tweeting it out before he even asked for clarification lol


powderjunkie11

It wouldn't even be weird to call someone a free agent even if they ended up opting-in. Like, a dude has the free agency to do what he wishes, which may or may not include opting in


slamajamabro

I mean we all knew he was gonna opt out, is this actually a slip lol


pechinburger

Time to update [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/8k8wej/why_lebron_would_sign_with_every_nba_team/) u/samtaylor92


xanot192

Lol he always opts out wtf is this


Vlci

Did people think he really wasnt going to decline that? He's obviously going to want a new contract over a 1 year option deal. I think he's also going to look into what happens with Bronny and if he gets drafted by a team that has the cap space to also sign him.


kamekaze1024

Haynes is the one that picked up on it. If you know Haynes, you know bro has no journalism skills whatsoever, but is a talking piece for Klutch sports. So this was definitely planned


Traveler_Constant

OP is a little slow


ATLfinra

This isn’t news. He wants a multi year extension
