The Los Angeles Lakers FAILED LeBron James' Offseason Challenge according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Lakers failing to sign any major NBA Free Agents like Klay Thompson, Paul George and James Harden after LeBron publicly said that he would take a pay cut on his next contact and discuss what is next for this team as they turn their attention to guys like DeMar DeRozan in NBA Free Agency to try and give LeBron his shot at another ring.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Gils anger is in the wrong place. There's a salary cap. This isnt the same as me as a salary employee at a business. Me making 100k isn't taken money out of someone else's pocket as a colleague. We all get that in that scenerio. But in a league with a cap lebron getting the max takes money from someone else. Has nothing to do with the owners. As Kenyon said they make the same regardless unless u raise the cap itself. Which is a real argument but than u hurt small market teams like we see in the MLB... so it's complicated n clearly not something Gil understands.

The term “pay cut “ is meant going over the tax apron to keep the talent needed to win. The player doesn’t manage the cap that’s the owner and his consultants to figure out or just trade the players then and stop playing games with folks money. They choose to keep resigning Bron so why demand he take less. Not his problem. But Bron has to get use to losing as well and that’s on the GM to make it work with the cap they given.
