I'm sure rich Paul never said a word to lebron
Lebron does his "friends" dirty
My question is What if he did?
what does it matter?
What would that change?
Are you saying that Lebron could have STOPPED the trade?
Of course he could have stopped it
Hold on so somehow this is LEBRON fault?
So the story that these two GMs who been boys since Kobe (RIP) met and arranged this completely between themselves and each of them damn near publicly confirmed it
OTHER league execs confirmed it
NBA insiders confirmed it
but the ALL lying
and Lebron is a "bad guy" somehow with super powers to MAKE this happen?
Or
had to give his APPROVAL?
which would then mean hi is MORE powerful then NBA owners and GMs?
And essentially MADE a trade that everyone now says was a steal
So even if he DID know and somehow arranged this?
HE should be GM of the year right?
Again how is doing his FRIENDS dirty?
Cause isn't it Luka who LOST A SUPER MAX EXTENSION BECAUSE OF DALLAS MAVERICKS?
Who did WHO dirty?
I WISH Black players had that much power bro.
okay AGAIN...
lets say he KNEW
DIDNT stop it
and APPROVED it?
Isn't that what was best for the Lakers?
The Mavericks opened a WIN NOW window for the next 3 to 4 years. You can talk all you want but Ky, Klay and AD is fckn elite IF they can stay healthy.
Then with Davis and those 2 athletic centers back there you not getting nothing easy at the rim.
This team has potential... I would not want to face a healthy Dallas team in the playoffs.

You telling me the goat has no power
The biggest agent is one of his best friends
That's yet to be determined
Exactly. I hate to see it cuz I’m not a Dallas Fan but they just leapfrogged OKC for best in the West.
….when healthy
What I am saying is we gotta understand no matter what?
This is rich white folks house.
They HATE this Klutch sh*t. They tolerate it because Bron and them gave them no choice
but don't you EVER think they RUN sh*t.
Lakers been letting it out they getting tired of the Klutch influence (so have other owners)
I don't like people giving the Black man all this power and responsibility when its something NEGATIVE but never when its POSITIVE
Its the LAKERS team.
Why don't we let THEM get the credit AND the blame?
Because we NEVER give these players credit when the WINS and RINGS come - its never tampering then.
When they form a big 3 take less money etc... GIVE the Players credit THEN TOO.
NOT the GM.
Its always a PROBLEM when its ABOUT players having more money and power.
It doesn't MATTER if Lebron knew or not.
But again if he did?
Okay so Lebron and Rich are genius because they stole a generational talent AGAIN first AD now Luka.
FOR THE LAKERS.
So what's the problem?
Aint that team? aint that about WINNING? I thought all that matters is RINGS?
Shouldn't you be MORE concerned that the team f**ked up Luka money?
Luka aint Klutch.
Now THAT is bad friendship
Cause Lebron?
Got all his friends even the scrubs GENERATIONAL wealth and helped them set up money trees in their hoods.throughout his entire career
I need a "bad friend" like that.
Okay yes exactly.
as with ALL TRADES in the first day.
But on paper he (since you saying Lebron KNEW) got a younger generational talent
And Klutch made SURE Anthony Davis got ALL his money and a ring
Dallas screwed Luka their golden child over for multi millions he will never get back.
why arent you calling THEM out?
1. They aren't winning shit
2. How you think AD is looking at lebron now
I don't have to call them out. The planet already has. It's a bad trade
YOU don't know if they winning or losing anything
YOU just told me "we will see"
I agree, but it'll never happen.
CACs would lose their shit seeing a black player having power to do what they want.
That's why I said black players need to stop being loyal to these organizations and do what's best for them and their families.
They graded that mavericks trade for AD with a F.
Bad trade or good trade is irrelevant because no one knows.
I'm saying how you trying to make Lebron the BAD GUY here.
First you have no proof he knew anything
the SAME sources you post saying he didnt know anything
so they ONLY reliable if they agree with you?
They all saying he aint know.
But again WHY is that important?
The MAVS traded Luka at 26 years old plus messed up his super max.
Shouldn't we focus on THAT?
Cause AD is good.
But what happened to "we will see"???
I aint no nba expert
I have no idea if that trade will work
Go back a few pages people said the KAT to NY trade was bad.
Nobody f**ing knows.
But the Lakers got a generational talent that aint up for debate.
and ummm...
why is the ENTIRE league upset because they Couldn't get Luka then?
The Lakers aren't LeBron team anymore or never was.
Also, any player would be frustrated when a player like AD can't stay healthy because he's made out of glass.
They're upset because the mavs could've got more
I'm not going back that many pages when I already knew how people said at the time and myself included thought the Timberwolves won that trade. I can confidently say that I was wrong about that.
AD could prove people wrong which has yet to be determined and I think he's more motivated and angry that he's gonna play with a chip on his shoulder to prove it was a mistake to trade him or he'll get hurt again which would prove why they no longer wanted to deal with him anymore.
Yeah, luka is the future for the Lakers post LeBron which makes sense for them to get his replacement and dumb on the mavericks part because they traded Luka when he was still young being a the face of the franchise at the time for them.
I'm sure there's plenty people in the league who would want to trade for Luka if they had the assets to get it done. So, that could be the reason why they're hating or upset.
I still feel the mavericks got fleeced since they didn't get more in return for Luka with him being young talented and face of the franchise for that team.
I'm reminded of lebron letting wade opt in taking less money only for him to bounce
Nah Randall is trash
Now if they trade Reeves after not trading him for the last 2 years when there were win now players to help them

Yeah, which is why we can say the Knicks won that trade.
If it was an issue then tell him.
I remembered that.
LeBron isn't a saint by any means.
He's left teams with nothing to build on leaving them.
But it's hard to say that LeBron got AD traded since the owners and GM were plotting and planning for months to make that trade happen behind their backs.
I don't believe he had him traded
I just think it's naive to think he didn't know what was going down
