Los Angeles Lakers (17x NBA Champions)

[Jake]

The greatest player in the game seems ok with it.

PG is spineless and can’t handle it.

LBJ going to the Lakers was more about his next career than his current one.

As for PG, his team is going to the playoffs while Lonzo is shut down and LBJ is producing TV shows.

Rumor: Lakers owner Jeanie Buss pushed Magic Johnson to draft Lonzo Ball

Stephen A. Smith of ESPN:
What I’m about to say, Magic Johnson would categorically probably deny. That’s my friend, my brother. I love him. If Magic Johnson was sitting next to me on national television and he said opposite or contrary to what I’m about to tell you, I’d tell him, “That’s a d— lie, and you know it.”
Magic Johnson would not have drafted Lonzo Ball if were not for Jeanie Buss.
Jeanie Buss needed a box-office draw. LaVar Ball, the marketing wizard that he is, put his son in our minds’ eye, had us thinking this brother out of Chino Hills starring for UCLA is going to be special in the pros.

So did Buss let him do what he wanted (as Magic said when he stepped down) or not?

Whoever's idea it was to take Ball, it was a dumb one. Not worth the circus and good luck getting value in a trade with his idiot dad in tow.

Well, his dad and the fact that he's a can of raw ass on the basketball court.

Looks like they managed to get rid of Lonzo and his clown show dad.

The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks -- including the No. 4 overall selection in next week's draft, league sources tell ESPN.

Davis is a great player, but this leaves the Lakers with Grandpa LeBron and nothing else

That’s good, right?

It is if you want the Lakers to keep being the Yankees of the early 90s

I hope Kuzma and KCP see that comment.

Oh, and just wait until they ink Kemba. That would be a stacked starting 5 but a thin, thin bench.. ...all just conjecture of course.

I grew up in So Cal in the Showtime 80s era and was fully addicted to the Lake Show so it will always be in my blood.

If they’re worried about a comment on a Buckeye message board, they’re even worse off than I thought

 

[CFPBuckeye]

I hope they fail and fail some more. LeBron isn’t there to win. He’s there to be a star and brand builder while collecting an NBA pay check.
