Absolutely.

You listen to the Lowe post?

He said the Lakers had a deal with Sacto trading Kuz , Trezl for Hield.

The Lakers would have still had KCP, the 2021 first rounder and the ability to keep Caruso.


Ouch.

Yep. I didn't hear Lowe, but I had heard that Pelinka had a Hield trade ready to go, but Lebron and AD met with Westbrook and went to him with "This is what we want. We can make it work".

The main thing I don't like about what Lebron and Klutch did is that all season long, Pelinka has gotten crushed for that deal and Lebron/Klutch never stepped up and said "that's on us". They just sat back and let him catch all the shit. Even when there was speculation that Pelinka could lose his job.

Then, after Lebron goes into passive aggresive mode over All Star weekend, they want to come back later and say "there's no issue and no rift" between them and Pelinka...which exactly no one believes because everyone is still talking about it.

At least now the talk is putting the lions share of the blame in the right place.

Lebron lost even more credibility with that bullshit. Be a fn man, stop with the drama.

He's never been up against a brand that's as popular as he is.

I honestly believe he did not expect the vitriol he's receiving over this nonsense.

First time Pelinka says no, which was absolutely the right call to make, he starts his passive aggressive temper tantrum.

Yep. Lebron is still huge in the NBA...He's not "huger"than the Lakers.

Agree, he got caught off guard. I guess he thought one title was enough. He must have forgot that the Lakers moved on from Shaq after a 3-peat. And Shaq wasn't just beloved...he was damn industry in LA.

Funny thing is, awhile back when he said that Lakers fans don't care what you did in your career until you do it as a Laker, I thought maybe he understood...guess he didn't.

Good point made on the Cowherd show by Emmanuel Acho.

"Lebron James the General Manager has undermined all of the hard work put in by Lebron James the player".

He said he ultimately invested in the wrong "Robin" and got fooled by the bubble season into believing AD could stay healthy. Then he convinced himself that he could get Westbrook to play different than he has his whole career.

Ended with "This is the bed Lebron has made and now he gets to lay in it".
Totally different sport and time but so had me thinking how Butch Davis the GM ruined BD the coach here

Rondo now out for 2 weeks. LM finally returns and we lose Garland, Levert and Rondo? What the hell did the Cavs do to piss off the injury Gods?

Thinking it's time for NY to buy out Walker?

Holy shit man. That seems unfair. As far as Walker. Why the hell not if it's possible?

It could be argued that Shaq was right there with Magic as 1 of the most popular Lakers ever.

Yeah, I put them both over Kobe. Kobe was great but he was also standoff-ish. You talk to native Californians and those 2 are legends.....and Kobe is 3rd, not far behind them but 3rd.
