Who's dickriders have to pretend his 13 year career as an NBA exec dont exist cuz it sucks so bad. They have to view him in a 6 year vacuum from 30 years ago to still see him as great.

Them aint Laker fans. Thems Kobe stans. We got a few of them on BGOL. Theyll be Warrior fans when the playoffs start. And Bron will still be in LA the next 3 years. So who cares about a few Kobetards crying? They never wanted Bron anyway. They like losing, it gives em a reason to be Dubs fans in the playoffs.
You going to start rooting for the warmth again? D Wade is balling and they might make the playoffs. Go ahead and dust that jersey off.
Patrick Beverley all in the kings head. Shameful
So a Lakers fan is not allowed to be critical of the team’s players with mout being a “Stan”? Weird
Yall aint been shit for 7 years. Where were all the critic then?
They were bad, there was nothing to talk about.
Now they’re “Supposed” to be better and are failing. There’s a dark cloud covering Lebron. We should be able to speak about it.
Yes. The dark cloud is the lakers. The guy went to the finals the previous 8 years and won 3 of them. Now the moment he enters a shit organization he gets hurt, misses a month, and is about to miss the postseason for the 1st time in 15 years or so. Sound more like a laker issue than a Bron issue to me.
Not saying it was all Bron.
But...
The entire trade scenario put a cloud over the organization, Bron’s agent and his doing. In my opinion.
Lakers are mishandling some things I can admit that. But I’m seeing the players not want to play with Bron like the players not wanting to Kobe his last year.
It’s tougher in the West and injuries are making it bad for the Lakers. Bron, Rondo and Ball.
Perhaps.. But the alternative was holding tight with current roster and getting swept by GSW in round 1. They took a shot and missed. I think the more problematic part of it is that Bron had to do it because the actual GM and execs hadnt done shit to improve the team. Magic and Pelinka have been a disaster bro. Also, i think the urgency to make the deal came about post injury when they realized Bron wouldnt be 100% this year and they fell from 4th to 10th. At that point they realized he had no help and would need a roster move in order to make a postseason run.
Had that roster maintained that 4th-6th place standing i truly believe Bron would have felt more comfortable riding out the season with those guys. But they stunk up the joint when he left. And then had the audacity to be offended when they were offered for trade?

I agree with your points. Pelicans were foolish not to take that trade, I didn’t like it from the Lakers point of view but the Pelicans should’ve taken that trade.
Dude, take some of that shit out of your sig
The pelicans don’t know what they wanted to do. The only think they knew was they wasn’t gonna let a black fuckers like Rich Paul, AD and Lebron as some say, tell them what to do
Truuuue

The problem is the team is running the Lebron system. Shit only works with Lebron. That's why the Spurs stay winning no matter the players. Their system isn't dependent on 1 dude.
That's why I don't think any "real" free agent will sign here. Why would you? The Clippers are winning and going to the playoffs with a team of leftover ninjas that all play hard. If you were KL which team would you pick? Maybe you get Kemba Walker, but nobody else?
You think Klay, KD, KL, or black Guile want to be the scapegoat? Kyrie? Maybe but does he make them contenders?
You need a coach that Lebron will respect and a system that reduces his time as the dominant ball handler.
We will see.
Damn Bron.
When I read the caption I thought they meant push figuratively, nah he LITERALLY pushed him.
I truly HATE the “Lebron System”
Up until recently the players look like they played scared, scared that they might fuck up. Now they don’t care, they just play ball.
Of course. But the dude still has a year and a half left on his deal. If you were paying a guy to build something for you and paying him as the best in his field and then he says I don't want to finish, send me to another job and pick the workers from that site you want.
I believe in player mobility, but if they just let him walk when he wants what's to stop the next guy? They tried to strong arm the pels and the pels leaked all of that shit to destroy the lakers from within. Shit was obvious.
If you went to a club with your wife and she got drunk, called you a loser and was kissing and hugged up on dudes in front of everybody, get smashed by multiple ninjas in the bathroom and then shows up in the morning like "You need to get over last night, get your ass up and go provide for me" how would you act?
Looks to me like the 3 youngsters (Ball, Kuzma, Ingram) have decided to tell Bron to go fuck himself. Wouldn't you? He showed you that you don't mean shit to him. The dude had AD on his show but not one of his teammates? LOL they had that shit planned cause they just knew that AD would be on the Lakers.
Shit show bro
The Pelicans were smart to wait, the Lakers will still want him in summer and other teams can make their play for him.
The problem is, on the internet, in the media and on BGOL, the mentality is that once the big markets come calling for your star player, you just submit and give up your star and take what ever the big market gives back because stars just need to be in big markets, ESPN is already planting the seeds with Giannis.
The Pelicans are smart to wait, the only reason I would have taken the trade was to prevent this shit show that people in New Orleans are largely getting turned off from.
Pelicans were what, 13th place in West with a healthy AD? Y’all can keep that “Winner”!
But the Pelicans should’ve taken that trade.

Where did I use the word "winner".
This is not about the Pelicans record,
This is about the trade that AD requested, the same request that Gayle Benson said she'll honor almost immediately afterwards.
The point is this, AD is gone, he's just not gonna be gone when ESPN and BGOL wanted him gone.
The Pelicans have a right and are smart to attempt to get the best deal for him and if that means waiting till the summer then so be it.
AD also wasn’t gone she “He” wanted to be gone. Now he’s and outcast and looks odd on the court with anything Pelicans related.
He Really shouldn’t have said he wasn’t resigning.

Who's fault is that?
With respect to him I can't imagine the travel and grind of being on a team that is gone nowhere but instead of making his mind up that he wanted out of New Orleans by the deadline he should have mentally prepared himself to do the full year in New Orleans and keep the trade demands between him, Rich Paul and the Pelicans top executives just incase they didn't get him out of there by the deadline.
I’m talking about going public with his demands.
And I said that the reason he's an outcast and looks odd on the court is his own fault.
That trade demand could have and should have been handled quietly, instead of trying to flex on the team and Gayle Benson and giving the ESPN talking heads more bullshit to talk about.
I would go so far as to say, if AD would have handled that trade quietly, the breaking news on the morning of January 28th would have been that AD has been traded to LA instead of AD has demanded a trade and his ass still sitting here on March 5th.
I agree
Don't forget Randle. Everyone Magic moved is blowing up right now. Russel went from being a snitch into being an all-star.
Thomas Bryant, Zubac and Lopez should have still been on the team.
But you went from Cleveland to Miami back to Cleveland and now LA. So are you a "stan", because you're certainly not rooting for Cleveland or Miami anymore, right? Why not?
Heres the thing about the Lebron system tho... Its been to 8 straight finals and has won 3 titles in the last ten years. Can you name a more successful system in professional sports over that span?
Also, the plan was to NOT utilize that system. Magic and Pelinka told the guy to trust them and let them surround him with playmakers who would lighten his load. That failed miserably and Klutch hit the panic button on the AD situation in efforts not to waste a year of Brons career.
Ultimately, this failure may work out in your favor. Because a name brand guy can feel as tho he helped rescue a sinking ship as opposed to jumped on Brons bandwagon. And I agree they need a coach LeBron respects and a system to reduce his workload.
I'm just looking at the free agents available and don't think what we need is out there. We need dudes that play both ends of the court. We pick up KT, KL and a stretch 5 yeah. But you think Klay or Kawhi is coming here to be worker bee's for Klutch?
We will see.
Are you a Laker fan?
Are you?
The "System" worked against teams that felt they were inferior to Lebron. Those teams feared Lebron..."All of the Eastern Conference".
When he played Golden State, that system only worked for a few of the what, 20 games they played in the Finals?
With The Heat it was a more team atmosphere from what I remember.
No doubt. It worked until a 73 win team added the 2nd best player in the league and a top 15 player all time.
