AD rips Lakers: We're not a title team right now

 

[John Price]

"GM" LeBron did such a good job gutting a playoff roster, dealing 3 key role players and letting others like Schroder walk to Boston.

I am a Lakers fan but seeing this whole failed experiment backfire on him is hilarious. Is 8-9 LeBron's "fault"?

 

[John Price]

Here is what makes me mad.

The Lakers before LeBron took a sledgehammer to them were a good team. They had won a championship.

They had their moments last year too. They faded out because of AD getting hurt. Again, AD plays that series against the Suns, maybe the Lakers win. Not sure if they win it all, but that's fine.

But after that first round playoff loss all heck broke loose. LeBron made massive offseason changes as if he were the GM. He's not the GM officially, but he might as well be. He openly admitted to having a "war room" in his house with information on potential teammates he would like signed. He openly recruited Damian Lillard to the Lakers (failed) and when that didn't work out, helped bring Westbrook to LA. Another "overrated" point guard.

Trading Kuz, Harrell, and KCP for Westbook may be one of the biggest steals in recent NBA history And again all LeBron has to show for it is 8-9. You better step it up, big man.

Never understood Lebron approving this trade

like this is a guy with one of the higher basketball IQ's in league history, and he knows his age and workload ability

and he takes on Westbrooks contract while giving up bench depth
My guy what the hell are you doing

 

[John Price]

Also keep in mind the Lakers have a lot of old washed up talent like Westbrook and Carmelo What have these players won?

[Breakers]

I just heard last night Westbrick has a player option for next year

I thought he was in the final year
lakers have to get rid of this guy, but i think it is impossible, as he is picking up that option.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James made the tiebreaking 3-pointer in overtime and followed with a back-breaking 3 in his return from the first suspension of his career to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat Indiana 124-116 on Wednesday night.

James finished with 37 points on 13-of-29 shooting and had six assists and five rebounds, with the Lakers playing without Anthony Davis because of flu-like symptoms.

LeBron James Reveals What Pacers Fans Said To Get Ejected

Russell Westbrook, who was standing a few steps away when the incident went down, was not particularly helpful when asked to provide details.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, man,” he said.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

LeBron has become the most easy to dislike athlete there is. Ben Simmons is a close second.

Bill Burr's take on the Malice at the Palace is appropriate here.

LeBron fined for gesture, warned on profanity use

NEW YORK -- LeBron James was fined $15,000 for an obscene gesture Friday by the NBA, which also warned the Lakers superstar about using profane language.

James made the gesture after making a shot late in Los Angeles' 124-116 overtime victory in Indiana on Wednesday night.

[Terry Yake]

IT reunited with lebron will be interesting

but the last thing this team needs is another small guard who can't defend

The NBA is so desperate to show the Lakers and Brooklyn today; funny how they have cleared just enough "healthy" players to have the game.
But then again Atlanta, Dallas , Boston and Golden State are missing at minimum a few starters plus bench players.
Adam Silver couldn't care about the quality of the product; he just wants the NBA on TV all day.

I'm a huge Lakers fan but I will not be watching the Lakers game today. The Lakers are so f***ing bad this year it's pathetic. I don't want to sound like a bandwagoner...BUT something seems missing about this club. They went through all this effort to build LeBron's dream team and it's biting them in the ASS. Way to trade Kuzma and Harrell who immediately start balling with the Wiz rofl. Meanwhile old ass Carmelo and washed up "WestBrick" continue to disappoint for the Lakers. It's so f***ing sad

Thats why the bubble title is fake.

why is it fake? surely if your nets had won, it would've been legit, right?

maybe you'll answer my question this time instead of ignoring it
