Just in: The Sacramento Kings are waiving DeMar DeRozan, making the six-time All-Star one of the top free agents, sources tell ESPN. The sides worked collaboratively on this resolution after exploring trade routes.
Lebron literally can do nothing and the media will talk about LeBron. LeBron isn’t making anything about him. The media makes whatever he does a big story. And yall mad lol mad at the wrong person gang
MJ:
1. Retired to avoid public suspension for gambling
2. Retired because he refused to play without Phil Jackson and Scottie Pippen
3. Retired after losing too much and then got fired from his front office position for the same reason
I've been saying it since 2020: Rob Pelinka quietly sabotaged LeBron's legacy.
After winning a championship with Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee anchoring the center rotation, the Lakers let both walk. Then we're supposed to believe they couldn't find another true big to play alongside AD after the Marc Gasol experiment failed?
They already had two who fit perfectly—they just chose not to keep them.
Instead, the front office chased a different direction, prioritizing more offense, spacing, and playmaking with Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell. That decision gutted the Lakers' interior defense, rebounding, and physical identity.
Rob Pelinka gets almost no criticism for one of the most damaging roster decisions of the LeBron era. That's basketball malpractice.
