So everything is on LeBron huh? Interesting. Read comment # 16,796. I want you to explain how Pelinka not returning teams calls before the trade deadline is also LeBron fault.

Because there were no viable trades for Westbrook. Why waste time on things you aren't going to do.

Additionally, I didn't see a single actual name of anyone who supposedly said that. Unless there is a name attached, it's clickbait bullshit.

So nbacentral isn't legit? I'm asking. Just like I didn't know who Shams Charania was until someone pointed out who he is.

lol

NBA Central just appears to be a twitter handle. It even says that it's not affiliated with the NBA. I could start a twitter account called NBA West, say a bunch of shit from "unnamed sources" and be just as legit.

It's funny that you use the "some people just don't like Lebron" excuse when people criticize him, but ignore your own dislike of the Lakers when talking about stuff from unnamed sources.

Hey I asked a legit question about NBAcentral because I'm not familiar with them. I never have and never would go on twitter.

And spare me your utter nonsense about my dislike of the Lakers. I've said plenty of times I've always given the organization the respect they deserve.

Here's a question you won't be able answer with anything that resembles a rational response. If I'm really that much of a Lakers hater why is Magic my 2nd favorite player all time?

I have two Lakers in my all time top 5. But yeah, I really hate the Lakers.

It takes stuff from legit writers/articles. Those things were in a bleacher report article

Seriously? This is your response?

Larry Bird is one of all time favorite players and I have a ton of respect for the Celtics...but I still hate them.

How about you name the GM that wouldn't have done what Pelinka did in that situation.

And I answered about who they are (I'm not on twitter either, I had to Google them).

I rarely look at twitter but if it is NBA related it's Woj, Shams, NBA Central and then of course local reports that follow the Cavs. Hoop Central is good but it is more informative than news imo.

I don't doubt both of those rumors though.

This aged well. Also, shockingly, this tweet is no longer on LeBron’s Twitter feed.

View attachment 290603

An example of yet another time he's firmly stuck his foot in his mouth. Remember after that absurd televised Decision nonsense he said he was going to remember all those that disrespected him?

He's done far more good than bad during his career. But when he does something bad/stupid he takes it up a level.

I love him him but he is part of the problem.

There are 3 parts to the Lakers issues.

1-RW has been really bad.
2-Injuries.
3-Vogel's subbing patterns and using 30 different starting lineups. Not saying it is all on him but those 3 have all played a factor in this season.
AD is glass
LeBron isnt interested in this team anymore

How much longer we gonna go back & forth about this? Once again we have different opinions on a topic. Nothing new. But no matter what you say it won't get me to change my opinion that while LeBron deserves blame for where the Lakers are so does the FO.

Pat Riley. Anyone advised by Jerry West.

But it takes someone with that type of record and reputation.

Broussard and Wright are right here, a lot of excuses blaming it all on Lebron. They had a chance with DeRozan and people in the FO wanted Russ too. Lebron also wanted Caruso back. Nobody is saying Lebron didn't want RW but it is still more on the FO, without a doubt. In reality Pelinka hasn't won the Lakers anything, bc Lebron "pushed" for AD. Pelinka is a cuck

Which only those 2 have.

Having said that...now that the Westbrook situation has gone off the rails and Jeanie has backed her GM...Lebron and Klutch have hopefully been neutered to the point that going forward Pelinka won't have to cede to what Lebron wants if he doesn't agree with it.

Ummmm, Magic is in my top 3 favorite and I completely DESPISE the Lakers....lol

How to explain it?

The two.aren't mutually exclusive and we both have versatility?
