Why is Adam Silver Having Casual Lunch Dates With Lebron's High School Buddies. WTF??

[34-24 Footwork]

In November, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Maverick Carter, LeBron's longtime business partner, met for lunch. James' agent, Rich Paul, was seated at a nearby table, and at one point, approached Silver to complain about Walton, multiple sources familiar with the interaction told ESPN. Paul said he didn't believe Walton was the right coach for the Lakers. Silver shrugged off the remark and asked whom Paul thought would be the right coach. Paul suggested Tyronn Lue.

And so the perception existed among the Lakers' coaching staff that Paul sought to oust Walton. And some players also believed, according to coaching staff members and those players' agents, that Klutch Sports was working to trade them away for a superstar. Given those perceptions, one former Lakers player described Paul's presence on the team charter as a "culture killer."

"Coaches know Rich is trying to get them fired, and players know Rich is trying to get them traded," said one agent with ties to the Lakers, who called Paul's presence on the plane "destructive."

Given Klutch's access, rival agents -- even those representing players on the roster -- said they were wary of allowing young clients to join the Lakers, fearing they'd be recruited or poached.

Why you holding back from how much you pay your mom for the basement?

"Guys know there's no trust there," one Lakers coaching staff member told ESPN before the season ended. "Guys know the new [administration] has completely bent over to the agent world and were overly sensitive to having these one-sided relationships with these guys where they kind of control our every move because we're 'big-game hunting.'"

:eek: :eek:

Bran wasn't lying when he tattooed chosen one on himself.

The NBA had this slated from the beginning.

Manufacture what they couldn't find naturally.

(They went away from Kobe the natural one after Denver)

Yooooo.....this article is probably one of the best ESPN articles I've read in a looooong time.

Yikes.

[90sgoat]

Maybe Maverick Carter and Rich Paul are down low brothas?

[FKAri]

The NBA is the WWE and Lebron is Vince McMahon. I'm glad you finally caught on.

[hold this L]

It's incredible what happens there. I remember early in the season people were saying Lebron is not involved, he's even more involved than he's ever been in other teams. Huge irony is that the one team where he wasn't allowed to run, he was most successful in his entire career.

Lebron is trying to take over the Lakers for his post-playing career. Probably has a plan to get rid of the Buss family as well. He knows how its done from looking at how Sterling was removed in Clippers.

Adam Silver upgrading drays soft foul to a flagrant after the game to suspend him for the elimination game in golden state...

I don’t think LeBron makes great decisions in terms of building teams. He’s too enamored with big name offense only stars.


That said OP is melting down as usual.

Really good points. Lol. Forgot about Lebron blaming his jumper on the sleeves a few years back :oldlol:

Big facts. Seriously. Pat Riley shut that shit down quickly.

I think he saw the Lakers in the midst of their rebuilding process and the hiring of Magic Johnson and probably thought that he could take advantage of a disorganized franchise...no matter how big the organization is.

You could make the argument, for sure. Here's a hypothetical:

Imagine if recovering KD went out East with the Wizards or Knicks and they couldn't make the playoffs. Media would KILL him mercilessly regardless if he's a shell of himself or not.

Healthy Lebron literally wasn't good enough to make the playoffs out West and the media letting it slide. Same with getting his teammates humiliated in opposing arenas.

Dude needs to retire ASAP. You could argue that he's ruining basketball media discussion...whether he's the most popular player or not.

[RRR3]

34-24 IQ: you could argue LeBron is ruining basketball discussion


Also 34-24 IQ: *posts mostly about LeBron*

[tpols]

Disgusting.

Could the collusion get any worse?

[The Iron Fist]

All of that lebron collusion and still, 6 finals losses:roll:

[Hey Yo]

Silver said there was no such Lunch date.... Carter just happened to be in the same restaurant. Carter approached Silver and they talked briefly.

Silver clarifies in the video.

Haters ruined......AGAIN

[FireDavidKahn]

Ok?

What did Adam Silver have for dessert? Cheesecake or creme brulee? That's the real controversy here. If he went for the cheesecake then we know he is up to no good and if he went for the creme brulee then this was just an innocent lunch.

Get on the investigation OP

Don't let facts get in the way of Lebron's most devoted followers' fantasies bro. The tooth fairy IS real.

Pretty much. Kinda pathetic.

[34-24 Footwork]

Lol @ the nerds expecting Silver to openly admit to having meals with Klutch Sportz agents.

Of course that bald rat won't admit that.

[Grey Dawn]

Silvers butthole must hurt.

[dazzer87]

Imagine having to listen to a dude that used to sell sport jerseys from the back of his car about getting a NBA coach fired...................:lol :roll: :roll:

the posse strike again......:oldlol:

I kind of respect how far they've gotten (on the back of LeBron of course), but they're highly unqualified to do this shit. They just have a bunch of money and influence and not afraid to wield it.

Lol @ Silver saying "they just happened to be in the same restaurant".:lol

Didn't he won that one chip in Cleveland with sleeved jerseys? :confusedshrug:

You wanted it so bad to be true

Adam Silver looks like he eats maybe 1000 calories on a good day. His 'lunch' was probably a single kale leaf that he calls a 'salad'.

I wasn't trying to be in poor taste; as far as I'm aware there's no serious health issues with him. If that's the case, then the dude looks like he could use a couple buffets and he'd feel a lot better. If there is something wrong with him, sorry didn't mean to make a crappy joke.
