$80M is a little disingenuous. Assuming he returns to form his contract after that will be $40M+ per season, perhaps $50M+ so it's maybe $30 million dollars to choose where he wants to play.
Income tax difference between Texas and Canada/California will cost him more than that, but the endorsement deals (even getting a bona fide shoe deal instead of his current embarrassment) can make it up largely.
Regardless, he's getting enough money either way to set up his family for generations to come.

Did anyone tell OKC they were supposed to secure financial relief?
Acquiring two replacement level players, one getting paid $15.5 for the next 3 years...

I didn't think they would get anything. And they already moved the PF for a french SF (Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot ) dropping the 5 million to 1.8.
Shroeder and Timothé will fit right into the Thunder... more athletes that can't shoot the 3.
But, on the brightside. The team did get exponentially more athletic with the removal of the carcass formerly known as Melo.

Lakers add Beasley for $3.5M because why not.
Another not-horrible use of cap space.
Magic is adding all these deals that are impossible to love or hate. Lots of fiery veterans to push and teach his young guys. Getting the impression they won't blow things up and look to make any deals at the trade deadline or pick up anyone on a good deal. This year Lakers are just gonna ride the wave.

Anthony sucks. Career underachiever who was overrated due to his NCAA accolades.

Rockets' Morey: LeBron best ever by big margin
Speaking of Daryl Morey, he said:
Where is the fine for tampering???

Because LeBron plays on someone else's team.
Magic and the Lakers got in trouble for talking up how great Giannis is or whatever because it's wrong to ask an all-time great about what he thinks about today's superstars.
Magic's comments were:
To me, Morey's comments were the same thing.
Team personnel aren't supposed to comment about anyone under contract with another team.

(via first Google result @ Lakers’ Magic Johnson gets $50k tampering fine for comments about Giannis Antetokounmpo)
