You can win the championship by getting less than 15 million. The Lakers want James to bleed. Will James compromise?

Just cut your salary by another 15 million yuan and you will have a chance to compete for the championship. This is the voice of the Lakers' management, but we can't tell James clearly. In order to test whether James has cut his salary, the Lakers used a provocation method with the reporters of the team, and made it clear in the show that James would not accept the salary cut. Obviously, Lake Records is putting James on the fire, and if you don’t cut your salary, you, James, don’t think about the Lakers.

But salary cuts are just like a netizen who said: "Reducing is love or not is duty." James made it clear in the offseason that he was willing to cut his salary to help the Lakers strengthen, and he also gave a list of signings with great thoughtfulness. But the Lakers still got nothing, just like they couldn't pass the opening exam. The Lakers' passivity in the trading market disappointed James.

This time, the Lakers are re-introduced, hoping that James will cut his salary by 15 million to help the team strengthen. This is the second time. Will James give the Lakers management a chance to prove himself? The answer is likely to be no salary cuts as Huji predicts.

There are two evidences that James does not cut his salary. One is that after the Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, James was asked about the disadvantages of his playing style, saying, "Davis hopes that the team can find a center partner for himself, but he will eventually be traded." Obviously, in the case of Davis being traded, James not only felt sad and sad. I am also very dissatisfied with the ruthlessness of the Lakers management.

The Lakers' approach made James feel insecure, so James is likely to choose to execute the contract and refuse to cut his salary to ensure that his financial interests are not damaged. Assuming that James really cut his salary by 15 million, the Lakers still gain nothing, wouldn’t it be a loss for James?

The other is the uneasiness caused by Doncic's joining. If the Lakers just want to trade Davis and still believe in James' ability, their first choice should be to find another inside partner for James. But the reality is that Pelinka deals with Doncic.

Doncic not only overlaps with James' tactical style, but also is 14 years younger than James. From any dimension, Dongzi is not here to assist James. There is only one truth - Doncic came to the Lakers replaced James. This is a heart-wrenching fact that highlights the indifference of the giant teams. Although the Lakers management has never publicly stated that they do not trust James and hope that he can leave Doncic to twelve. But the Lakers' management's actions are to give Doncic a higher team status than James.

As long as Doncic wants, the Lakers will try to trade and introduce. Although Ma Wei failed to keep it, that was the person Doncic wanted. And the Lakers won't sign him if he is willing to cut his salary. This is the difference between the two.

Obviously, in Jenny Buss' eyes, James is already a burden. The only value is to earn some tickets and attract some traffic for the Lakers. Once Doncic really takes the helm, James is likely to be abandoned and sold by the Lakers. In order to ensure that he will not be sold out and to be safe in the future, James chose not to cut his salary and get more money, which is also a way to relieve his inner uneasiness.

To be fair, with the Lakers' current strength, even if James cuts his salary, the full middle class will not be able to sign a reliable inside player like Reed. Even as Reeves jumps out of the contract, the Lakers' combat power will further decline. The salary cut is more of a test of the Lakers' bottom line against James's, and it is also a game between the two sides. Only by keeping the bottom line can James avoid being bleeded by the Lakers, which is also his only way to protect his own interests.
