First of all nigga. The tweet was about BRON FANS. NOT LEBRON HIMSELF. IM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR BRON BUT THE CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT THE BRON FANS LEAVING.
I KNOW READING COMPREHENSION IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW.
SECOND. TWO DECADES?
We won with Bron in 2020. The ring before that was 2010. So you bad at reading and math. Good to know.
You better look at a fuckin basketball and see who’s on the front of that shit nigga. We the logo of the fuckin league. Every jersey. Every basket. Every towel, headband, shooting sleeve, every nba sock EVERY TROPHY has a fuckin Laker on it.
The reason your team has cheerleaders.
The reason why all your arenas have that sponsorship money.
The team that introduced teams having their own regional sports networks.
The lakers have been to the finals 32 times. Thats more than all the championships in the western conference combined.
I have seen 6 championships with my own eyes. Thats more than 26/30 franchises in the league.
The highest scoring guard. Forward and center of all time all wore the purple and gold.
So yes we will be ok without the fans who only follow one man. And you god damned right we have the right to be cocky. Now…. watch your fuckin mouth when you speak to a real Laker fan.
Rob Pelinka is the perfect example of being damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Yesterday, @Lakers fans were saying he was asleep at the wheel, that he wasn’t aggressive enough, and that the front office had no plan. Less than 24 hours later, the #Lakers reportedly land Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton, Quentin Grimes, and Sandro Mamukelashvili in a flurry of moves that completely reshape the roster around Luka Dončić.
Was the price for Walker Kessler steep? Absolutely. But here’s the reality: when you identify a 24-year-old rim protector who runs the floor, rebounds, blocks shots, and fits perfectly next to Luka, you don’t get him at a discount. Utah had all the leverage, and Pelinka knew that if Kessler was his guy, it was going to cost premium assets. That’s the price of solving your biggest roster need.
The bigger picture matters. This wasn’t about winning the transaction. It was about building a roster that actually fits. Kessler gives Luka the vertical lob threat and defensive anchor he’s at his best with. Sexton brings downhill scoring and toughness. Grimes adds two-way versatility on the wing. Mamukelashvili gives the Lakers another skilled frontcourt player with size and shooting.
Fans wanted urgency. Pelinka showed urgency.
You can debate the cost, but you can’t debate the intent. The Lakers identified their weaknesses and attacked them immediately. That’s what a President of Basketball Operations is supposed to do. Now it’s on the players and coaching staff to make it work.
