The Lakers get $150,000,000 million a year from

[Lakers2877]

Time Warner. 20 years, $3,000,000,000 billion dollar contract to broadcast their games. That is just mind boggling.

And that is why the lakers will always be relevant. They could have a 100 million dollar payroll like its no big deal

[bluechox2]

hmm i own the lakers and am an entrepreneur , i get 3 billion dollars, do i waste it all in a sport, or just pocket that cash....i dont know, it seems like a hard choice to make

[noob cake]

This is just weird. Why doesn't TWC just buy the Lakers...

with that much money they can buy the whole league.

Retard, just say 150 million or 3 billion and quit confusing everyone.

How much Time Warner pays the Lakers is irrelevant. The new CBA makes it nearly impossible for the Lakers to spend money like they did in the past. In a few years the big spenders will have around 70 million dollar payrolls because once you go into the tax limits you're really only allowed to shed salary or sign vets for the min.

[DuMa]

lakers dont really have all that much to spend for 2014 FA market. its only something in the area of $36 million after they plan on resigning kobe back as well. thats only enough for 1 max contract.

so it doesnt matter how much a team earns. Lakers still have to play by the rules of a very strict luxury tax rules CBA.

just another idiot laker fan who doesnt know anything about the CBA

[hitman24]

Lol he wants you to be able to read and write the number..

[WayOfWade]

Geez, no wonder the (current) Miami Heat were necessary, tough to compete with that money.

[VIntageNOvel]

i dont think kobe care at this point about how much money he can get, he will trade 30 millls for a ring in a heartbeat,

but what hold him from getting a paycut is his pride,
he wouldnt want to take less than his colleague
he would take paycut, as long as lebron/melo/whoever get signed take less than him,
he would agree for 5 mill if lebron/melo/whoever get 4,5 mill

[daily]

what the tard who wrote that article didn't know or realize is that there is no minimum cap hold restrictions unless you go out and sign those guys before the 1 or 2 max contract players

in the CBA you can go OVER the cap when adding 1 million dollar minimum veteren contracts. you can sign as many as you want even if you are 100 million over the cap

meaning the lakers will sign the top free agents FIRST. without a minimum cap hold restriction.You don't know what a cap hold is do you?

[Lakers2877]

are you high or just stupid?

What about my post would make you ask me if I'm high or stupid?

actuually no they cant
Kobes salary will be a cap hold
Unless tgey renounce his bird rights
in which case they could do that but then they
cant sign him for whatever they want bc hell be an ufa
with no bird rights to that team so it counts against the cap like a normal free agent would

So that gives the Lakers then two options
sign max fa and waive off kobes bird rights
which well means Kobe will have to take less money regardless
and hope kobe signs for whatever amount is left on the cap
or kobe walks

ir option two,sign kobe first and then see what they can do with the cap left over
in which case if kobes planning on staying
I dont see him approving on any signings before him
Which will definitely have a change in team chemistry

[ralph_i_el]

posting 4 times back to back makes ME thing you're either stupid or giving stoned people a bad name.

Lakers will always make money :confusedshrug: location, location, location.

also 3 billion over 20 years is a LOT less money than 3 billion dollars today (busted out the ole financial calculator and that cash flow is worth about the same $1,277,000,000 in your pocket today), so it's not that ridiculous.

1- I was responding to posts in my thread. I thought that's what these boards are for. I'm 36 with a wife and two so if its " uncool " to post 4 times back to back according to " still live at home with mommy and daddy and spend all the money I make at blockbuster on weed, Mountain Dew and Cheetos, well I guess I'm uncool.

2- if the Lakers are always making big money because of " location location location, where's the Clippers huge tv contract?

3- 127,000,090 a year just for tv contract is a massive deal for the lakers. Also I'd like to see what formula you used

Do blockbusters exist anymore?

1. It's just forum etiquette anywhere on the internet to keep your thoughts to 1 post instead of posting a bunch of times in a row. No real excuse when we have the edit and delete features.

2. That's what happens when you mismanage your franchise and don't take advantage of your location

3. The $1,277,000,000 is the net present value of a 20 year annuity paying 150,000,000 a year assuming your discount rate is 10% ( the default for simpler models like these). Time value of money my friend. I don't think you quite understood what I was getting at. I'm selling it a little short by not searching out a more realistic discount rate for my model but to do that I'd need a better understanding of the Laker organizations cash flow.

[monkeypox]

They lose 300 mil of that instantly if another team moves in the market. Which is why they pushed so hard to keep the kings out of anaheim. Contrary to popular beleif, in the case of the Clippers, Dr. Buss is the one that encouraged his friend Sterling to buy a team and move it to LA. Being first to the Market the Lakers get some benefits over the Clippers although many of them have expired. There's also a provision in the TWC deal that has to do with how well the lakers do. So there's lots of pressure for the team to keep the team relevant.

[devin112]

The Buss family have a ton of money and OP is a ******.

[kshutts1]

Does the TWC deal fall under the "revenue sharing" provision in the NBA?

A team could have ZERO players under contract, renounce to all bird rights, they would still have 15 cap holds.

[kennethgriffin]

i'm not talking about kobe. i'm talking about the other 8-9 spots on the roster that guy put a minimum cap hold of 500+k

i'm saying the lakers will use all that extra money to sign the big players first. and will be at their maximum cap level with just kobe, nash, sacra, FA, FA.

then sign the rest through the 1 million minimum contract option where you can go over the cap

still dont understand cap holds do you?

Kobe has a 32 million dollar cap hold next year,and Nash is getting paid 9 million with sacre at .5

so thats already
42 million,add in 9 roster cap holds for a minimum 12,
thats 46 million,if the Cap is 60 million that leaves 14 Million on FA

The only way to clear cap room would be for the LAL to renounce Kobes bird rights in which case he can sign for whatever amount and the cap is only a minimum veteran spot which cleares 30 million

which gives them 44 million for FA

so if that does happen and lets say Kobe resigns for 15 million
the roster will be

Nash
Kobe
?
?
Sacre

with 28-29 Million in cap room
thats one max star and role players

with that said
Gasol has a 20 million dollar cap hold as well
so either they keep gasol at a smaller rate or he leaves
if they keep him for say 10 million

the cap room is at 18 million dollars,but as of right now

THE LAL Cap Holds exceed 80 million dollars next season
even if they waive everybodies Bird rights,theyll have 40 million to use
and if they resign Kobe even less

so whichever way you put it,the LAL either can keep Kobe,lose Gasol and sign one max player
or they can lose Kobe and sign two max players,but the Team will be stripped bare of any bench,any depth for that to be acquired
Theyll only have room for minimum spots,

and as seen this season,when you go from Gasol to Clark,or Howard to Sacre,or Nash to Blake,or Kobe to Meeks
you have a very big problem on your hands

Na.. I still think those other roster spots dont count against the cap until they are filled.


The lakers will fill the entire cap with 4 players. Then get a cap loop hole to fill the rest with minimum contracts. They can go over the cap with them.

Provide me with a link and evidence that the lakers have to reserve cap room to fill their entire roster before even going after james or whoever

Cap HOLDS

Kobe has a 32 million dollar cap hold,gasol 20 million

Unless they renounce their bird rights,their cap holds
run against the cap

You dont know much about free agency,cap holds,and
salary cap do you?

lol@ you thinking the lakers will extend gasol

and again.. I'm NOT talking about kobe

i know the lakers have to pay him 31 mill to extend him

nash - 9.7 mill
sacre - 915 k

thats 41.6 million

the 2013-14 nba salary cap is set at 58.679 million


58.679 minus 41.6 = 17.079 million

more than enough to sign a superstar

Knowing you, if you were an entrepreneur you would've stopped at 100K, and never even sniffed 3 million, let alone 3 billion.
