you’re going to make oo cry Rich Paul says the focus should be on ad not LeBron at this point in a Friday interview with Chris Haynes rich said LeBron has not involved himself in the team’s ongoing search for a new head coach he added in his opinion the Lakers should should probably Mo for excuse me me probably more focused on Anthony Davis than LeBron at this point do you agree I mean yeah most definitely most David LeBron said it last year before the season started out of his own mouth this is 0s team LeBron is older now even though he’s still efficient in all that he does offensively and defensively for the Lakers but it’s 18 so from this point on Lakers front office GM Mr bus Mr plinker should focus on 80 being the focal point right that that that’s that’s that’s that’s pretty much it I I’m not sure if I don’t I’m not sure if LeBron is is is going to be there obviously I’m it’s he ain’t going nowhere you don’t think so hell no who builds a $100 million do house and then leave if you build a $20 million in Miami where you moving to oo he building a hundred million doll house right I have a question sure I have a question he’s building a $100 million house right yeah in La yeah but when it come to someone like that with that kind of money that don’t really mean nothing honestly no I’m just saying we we we talk about LeBron we talk about LeBron James now if my cheap ass is bilding $1 million anything I’m going to uproot not chances are that’s exactly where I’m going well you million nothing me and you together can’t build $100 million nothing hey but you right about that but I’m just hyp speaking as if we had that if we had that kind of money we do 10% we could do 10% of that Ono but we can’t do the whole thing no no no we can’t do the whole thing listen show show can’t I I don’t even know for me now I probably like if I had like good money I probably spend I probably spend 1520 if I had a couple hundred million doll yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah if I got a couple hundred million doar three $400 million yeah yeah I buy a $20 million house but I mean to buy a $100 million house you got to have a bill a billy of something yeah you you got to be mov and then you got to know you got 20 30 million coming in every year just definitely and that’s what I tell people imagine what the upkeep in the taxes is on something like that it’s hold on especially in La of all places yeah if you notice a lot of people a lot of people that have a lot of money yeah they live in Florida yeah they have Vegas they have they are uh they have they have places that have no or low state taxes tax they spend half of their time where there’s not a whole lot of taxes because you figure you making you know you make that kind of money because I saw somebody they put up what Jaylen Bronson makes and what and what by the time he pay you know federal and state and B and uh uh Med you know all the taxes Yeah man they take over half they take 14 million of it’s 26 God damn that’s what I said all mine paying my fair share but damn I think I’m paying somebody else fair share that what I be thinking I’ll be like Oh Way whoa hey 14 14 14 of the but listen and that that’s that’s another thing I don’t mean to jump to piggy back back back on what what Draymond was talking about but you know the numbers that that go across that ticket at the bottom boy it’s different now that [ __ ] go fast now well you automatically whatever you see take 50% off that yeah right away okay 50% off that okay your agency that’s another that’s another 5% three three or four three to five right now if you’re in Hollywood they take 10 to 20% so now a $20 million is down to 10 the agency get their cut that’s probably one to two so now you’re down to eight eight well if you if you in Hollywood you living a St you living a life now oh yeah you ain’t living in no one bedroom you know you want to go $3,000 well a $3,000 money anyway anything 45,000 10,000 15 $20,000 a month you probably spending some good money oh yeah it doesn’t take money long to go oh no it and it go fast it take money long to go it it go it go fast yeah yeah yeah and I I I just to the point now oo I

I’m done with a sports I’m on cruise control I’m want old school yeah oh I’m I’m on cruise control right now so I’m dude I just I just I just want to keep I just want to keep having fun I want to keep working doing stuff here and there that I enjoy doing well I could I can’t sleep cause somebody be calling me who you hear laughing in the background as yeah I had an idea we went uh she like you know what uh I said no I don’t want to know you got another idea you got another idea yeah uh but that’s that’s me oh I I do I mean I love that I love being able to tell my brother he’s like man hey bro

for you know little stuff 2500 5,000 they’ll call her for that if they call me I already know it’s gonna hurt I already know it’s Gonna Hurt yeah it’s gonna be like I’m like whoa whoa what we need

I already know it’s gonna hurt a little bit Yeah so but that at this point in time moo it used to be like at this like like what I don’t really buy anything and so I said let you know what I’m saving all this money and I do save I save a lot of my money yeah it’s gonna go to them anyway and they not gonna be they probably not GNA be as meticulous as I am I’m trying to set up about three generations I told them I got three generations I got y’all I got the grandkids if I’m fortunate enough to be around my grandson kid yeah after that y’all got it now y’all can blow it if you want to and go back to where you were but yeah that’s on y’all because you know tough times make tough men tough men create easy times easy time create weak people yeah yeah my kids won’t be what I was because the times were was completely different completely so private school and and and indoor plumbing and and every and everything taken care of you know you have people coming in and cooking for you you going to the best restaurants you know you ordering you know 30 and $40 steaks and you 10 11 years old is different than what I came up so I view things through a different prism than what they do but I just hope they they appreciate it once I’m gone I mean it’s hard to appreciate something like when it’s here but I just hope when I’m gone they appreciate what was what I did and how I tried to set them up so they can pass it on Down the Line because I don’t want don’t ever want my family that that sharp name to ever be what it was was right that’s my whole goal is to like set them up and hopefully they they appreciate that and they set their kids up and the other kids and so forth and so on so that’s my goal I like it during last night’s multicast he mistakenly said Rich Paul said LeBron James would decline his player option and become a free agent which is no surprise um because he wants to keep the pressure on them he wants them to know uh he wants them to know that hey I got options so don’t don’t get don’t get carried away that’s why he normally signs two years plus an option because he’s always gonna give himself an out he always wants to keep the organization feet to the fire as far as are you doing everything you possibly can to win a championship because you know if you’re not I’m gonna go somewhere where they they are oh that’s a good one that’s tough listen every Everything LeBron and his team have done has always been strategic yeah there’s always a method behind their Madness which I which is why they’re so successful not only on the court but off the court so exactly what they’re doing I have no idea you know you know they I’m not sure who the brains behind well who’s the mass mind behind everything that they’ve done to this point I’m oh you talking about the Lakers or Lebron Lebron oh well you know well Maverick Maverick handles TV and the movie aspect of it yeah Randy is the chief of staff anything that moves yeah cars flights going uh hotels he handles all that yeah and then Rich is the the the the on field the on court okay so he’s at he LeBron is surrounded by a great team Maverick does what he does Randy does what he does Rich does what he does Savannah does what she does yeah which allows him to his mind to stay free and just play basketball damn and it’s like nobody really knows what’s gonna happen because unless LeBron says it rich can come out and talk Rich can come out and say things he can he can say certain things that put pressure on the Lakers to make them think he’s going to leave or make him think he’s going to do something obviously this tactic to put pressure on him and bringing another piece in which is which is what I think they they would need but yeah uh uh man I was on the plane I was just on the plane uh Friday Rich Paul uhuh this Joker in Comfort plus man he talk about man hey I hey I we 145 pound I don’t need no big old comfy seat right I said man you’ll get your ass out that little ass seat anybody window I said Rich you going need to stop being cheat yeah there you go no I like I don’t like what I need to a yeah cuz you want to sleep your head against the window instead of laying your head on somebody’s should what you get your damn head off meing you sleeping see that’s what happen when you find that somebody probably be sitting sleeping the head on your shoulder mouth all open no I told you I always get the same seat every time I never have any issues is there a seat next to you yeah yes yeah but the person next to me doesn’t bother me most they sleep on your shoulder no they don’t sleep on my shoulder because if people that fly with me when I do fly spirit I seat I’m always in the same seat see 13A or 13e I talk the whole flight so I’ve tweeted multiple times I get upset when people get on the flight with me and put they [ __ ] headphones on if you be on the flight next to me and you sit next to me do not put your headphones on and be rude I like to talk so the flight that I do take nothing I paid to sit back and relax and be comfortable no no no no no no no that’s not happening if I ever sat next to you on a flight I’mma talk your head off the matter of fact you a’t gonna talk to me hey when we go to the south of France I’m flying with you we gonna talk we gonna talk the whole six seven hours n it’s longer than six or seven hour but you ain’t gonna be sitting next to me oh don’t worry about it don’t worry about it I’m talking to you the whole flight you got ra talk to real I’m sure ra love be talking no no NOP no n I’m be sleep I got I gotta deal with her every day in this house I got a I got a busy schedule so I’m gonna get my sleep on the way over there yeah no we gonna talk we gonna Converse about your talk about what the

$14 MnMs is crazy for taxes … especially when it’s politicians that’s not paying taxes or close to that number in taxes.

It don't take money long to go 😂. So true
Ocho would hate me because I’m sleep before the plane takes off lol

That's great Shannon 👍🏾😊. Helping family ❤❤. I wish I could provide on that level ❤. But do what I can to help
Easy time creates weak people

Ain’t Sterling rich too. He was a prominent NFL player and sports analyst.
Wouldn't never happened under Dr. Jerry Bus
Lakers trade lebron get assets & draft picks time to start over rebuild
The house doesn’t matter not because it’s not a lot of money to lebron but because it’s not like he still won’t have the home there it’s not like he doesn’t have multiple homes anyways
Unc is like me once you put the work in you really dont be buying stuff cause you got everything youve ever really wanted even tho you still taking care of others youve done the sacrifices but at that point its a blessing to be able to provide to the ones you love. That's some real gratification and blessing from the most high. But he aint lying when the kids or whoever calls with the small talk not getting right to the point of what you want lol😂
I wanna do what Shannon is doing but it's hard I need help, I wanna be a self made man so I don't ask a lot for help but I do need it, I need help.
Got damn why is every topic revolve about money
Let him walk for real bye bye Lebron

I know Chad ain’t got on an LGBTQ chain 😄
I would love to sit next to Ocho. I got so many questions about football. How to be better at being cheap 😂 I’d have a blast talking to Ocho
The issue is teams and upper management are giving their star player(s)way too much say and control just for them to leave. That’s why all these coaches are getting fired. You don’t see this in any other sport.
Relax laker fans he wanted to be a laker he ain’t going nowhere.
