Y’all keeping score?
Lakers: Kessler, Grimes, Mamu, Sexton, Carr to join a team that has Luka Dončić
Media: they’re gonna have a hard time selling tickets
Clippers: replace Kawhi w/ BI and sign the same Rui that was universally hated as a Laker
Media: Clippers loaded up
😂
"Lil different era" means can't afford to. Thing ain't as good for '04 Pistons as it is for '16 Cavs. The Pistons dont have a generational golden goose to ride into infinity like LeBron! "I played with LeBron" gets you a sponsord podcast. Not the same for playing with Chauncey!
Ben Wallace says the 2004 Pistons will NOT take an anniversary vacation like the 2016 Cavaliers
"We all a little bit different. We grew up in a little different era."

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.
The last time @Lakers had a franchise player to not win a chip in their era is Elgin Baylor from '58-71! Since then every franchise cornerstone has hung a banner up for LAL! If Luka spends his prime with this team the odds are he'll get one!
It’s 2026 and the phrase “the Lakers have no tradable 1st rd picks for the next seven years” is still really interpreted 2 ways by 95% of NBA Twitter:
1) The Lakers have ZERO draft picks at all until 2034
2) Or lakers will have to wait until 2034 to be able to trade a future 1st again.
😭
I’ve been trying to help Twitter on this topic for 5 years and I’ve completely given up. Maybe another account can explain it better than I can. Idk if it’s comprehension deficit, or ppl saying what they hope is true bc they hate the Lakers already. What I do know is that ppl are parrots and accept internet captions as facts then start repeating that info as truth without fact checking.
I’m just gonna pray about it at this point. #DoTheKnowledge
Brad Stevens had a stinker last night giving up an All Star for 36yr old PG. Same PG who stank up the Clippers & Sixers franchises. But regardless of how bad Celtics/Clippers are, ESPN & Steven A Smith want you to believe Lakers superstars being white is a bigger problem!
You've also got to remember that the same people shouting about how bad Lakers are, is same people who said the Kawhi-Clippers where better, laughed at the New Orleans-AD trade (Thats a Haul Folks!). Said Mavericks would finish better than Lakers after the Luka trade!
Compared to the state LeBron left other franchises I'd wager Lakers are good. We have Luka, Reaves and Kessler! At the least both Kessler & Reaves can be flipped into a good roster to help build a contending team around Luka for the next 5 years!
Any @Lakers fan downplaying LeBron Lakers legacy is corny. Before him we had Jordan Hill,Jeremy Lin & Nick Young celebrating 14-41 records on live TV! Most of us may not agree with the control Bron had & having to mortgage the future but he did put banner no. 17 up there!
They traded Jaylen Brown just to trade him.
To a conference rival.
For 36 yr old Paul George.
GOD YOU HAVE SMILED ON ME ON TODAY🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
