The only part of the NBA I enjoy is the Los Angeles Lakers dumpster fire.

What an absolute shitshow.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

In what world is LeFraud worth even half of that ?

This guy has tons of money already, why the f*** is he getting 52 million?

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

 

[Your Boy Troy]

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.

The f***!? SMH.

Lebron at this stage in his career is just a tyrant running the Lakers. Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss must love tossing the Kings salad.

Didn't he say out loud "I've earned this shit!"

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.

Griffey Jr wasn't a midget and could actually play.

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.

And Rob “we have Rob Lowe at home” Pelinka always standing there pretending to be the one in charge

What about Jeanie Buss? What is she even doing.

He tried to run every team except pat riley put him in his place.

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.

Didn't he say out loud "I've earned this shit!"

Nah - that was his new Head Coach ( and LeBron's podcast buddy ) JJ Reddick at Bronny's first press conference after getting drafted.

 

[Stylizer1]

Every season Lebron gets more pathetic.
