The only part of the NBA I enjoy is the Los Angeles Lakers dumpster fire.
What an absolute shitshow.

saving up for that vegas expansion franchise
as for his paycut talk, it seems like klay and derozan were the only two he was willing to do that for. harden was never an option and lebron wasn't taking a paycut for jonas valanciunas. the rest of the FA class was meh. once klay signed with dallas and derozan likely wanted more than what the lakers were offering, that was that

Sure, why not? It’s not like he can get anyone worth a damn to go to that toxic atmosphere that he created.

Bronny is getting $4.4m guaranteed by the way. Nothing strange about that at all.

Sure if the definition of earned it is your agent/fathers best friend telling teams he won't sign a two-way contract and if they draft him hes going to Australia.

The nepotism is outstanding, some social media posts have this compared to Ken Griffey Sr going to Seattle to play with Ken Griffey Jr. This is not even comparable.

Junior had only been in the league for like a year or two at that point so it's not even like he had any leverage.
It's a dumb comparison to begin with, but they act like Jr made them sign his father during the mid 90s when he realistically could've held the Mariners over a barrel.

He hand picked a head coach who does a podcast, that's who.
Guy is running the Lakers at this point in his career.

Pat Riley is the man, Lebron even tried to get Erik Spolstra fired but Riley put the stops on that.

My favorite part of the whole Bronny fiasco is the video of his Mom crying after he got drafted. It's like she had no idea of all the behind the scenes crap that LeBron and Rich Paul pulled to make sure this happened.
Nah - that was his new Head Coach ( and LeBron's podcast buddy ) JJ Reddick at Bronny's first press conference after getting drafted.

She's like her father in that she gives the world to the face of the franchise (Magic in his case) but is the opposite when it comes to management. He put Jerry West in charge and let things be to an extent.

LaBurn doesn't care about winning. Taking 50m proves that. It's not his fault if they don't win and if they do he will take all of the praise. If they loaded up the Lakers and they still lost that would make him look even worse.

To think he did this to his kid shows his selfishness as a human being.
