Did the Lakers backstab LeBron?

[Westbrook_Fan]

LeBron joined in 2018 to play for Magic Johnson and then Magic leaves a year later

LeBron wanted a young squad and Lakers traded them all for AD

LeBron wanted Beal/Derozan and the Lakers GM went behind his back to get Westbrook

Lebron that plays GM will screw your team over and over again.

lol it's like they ignore the truth to repeat the same narratives that's been proven false.

1. lebron wanted derozan before westbrook. lakers wouldn't commit to a third year.
2. lebron wanted caruso. lakers didn't even counter the bulls offer.
3. lebron wanted lue. lakers only offered 2 years and wanted to pick his assistant coaches.

you're an oblivious tard or a troll if you still think he's playing gm in lal.

[Johnny32]

oh and the trade deadline.

“There was an iteration of the John Wall [for Russell Westbrook] trade that included Christian Wood that would have involved more money,” ESPN’s Dave McMenamin said… “I’ve been told from other sources in Houston that there was a message that the Lakers were not willing to take on more money.”

“That’s kind of the word around the league that the Lakers were making calls, if there was a trade that made sense, they would do it. I’ve heard it described as ‘maybe half-hearted efforts,'” Shelburne added on the same show. “They would do something if it was low-hanging fruit but they weren’t really willing to feel any pain, whether that was luxury tax money, whether that was more encumberment in the future, whether that was draft compensation. In other words, they called, they tried to do some things but there wasn’t a sense of the same kind of urgency I think you heard from the players the night of the Milwaukee game and especially after the Portland game.”

hurrr, legm didn't make any moves cuz he wanted to save duh lakers money, durrr

1) False Lebron wanted Westbrook over Derozan stop trolling troll. I don't believe the latest reports coming out coming from Lebron mouth along with klutch sports. This season has been a total shit show if anything Lebron is lying to save face after this disaster of Lakers season. You never see Lebron take blame for anything he will play passive aggressive until he gets his way.

You are lost in the sauce.

Your boy Bronie colluded with AD and Westbrook. It's documented. He cajoled the Lakers into trading the farm for both of them. Now he's lying in the bed he's made for himself, and it's HILARIOUS. Almost as hilarious as his fans melting down as he just...can't...stop...losing.

"Chris Haynes just confirmed that LeBron and the FO wanted Demar first, but the FO not wanting to give Demar a 3 year deal (to open up space in 2023) made them pivot to Russ instead."

lol it's like they're just completely and utterly retarded about everything.

Exactly. The Lakers would've needed a sign and trade to make anything for DeRozan work that comes remotely close to what he got from the Bulls.

There were no trade package rumors AT ALL, yet somehow we have details about a 3rd year as the hanging point? C'mon, son.

Yeah never listen to Johnny32iq...dude is full of shit

[Johnny32]

"I felt like going to the Lakers was a done deal and that we were going to figure it out. I was going to come home," DeRozan told Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports on Monday. "The business side of things just didn't work out. A couple of things didn't align. It didn't work out. It's just part of the business, part of the game. My next option was definitely Chicago. So, looking back at it, it worked out well."

hurrr, it's all bs. even derozan himself is lying, durrr.

lol this is how pathetically desperate legoat has these tards right now.

[Cold soul]

Yeah never listen to Johnny32iq...dude is full of shit

I'll take your advice here and listen. Yeah Johnny32 is a complete moron a dipshit Lebron turd.

Reportedly, James set up a 'war room' in his house in LA. He did his own research into who would be a good fit alongside him and Anthony Davis. James held meetings at his home with players and called others to see if they would be a good fit.

Per aforementioned Athletic article, Davis joined James on some of these meetings and so did former Laker Jared Dudley. The big bombshell of this particular knowledge is that the first star who was on the docket to try and join the Lakers was another Los Angeles Native: DeMar Derozan. The Compton native went to USC, and last year still averaged 21 points a game in San Antonio's "win by committee" system. James and the Lakers also targeted Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal, but ultimately they realized the pieces they had to trade with would not work out on multiple levels for these kind of trades.



This writer is summarizing the article by Shams and Amick two of the most reputable and longstanding journalists in NBA coverage. Shams has essentially become gospel similar to Woj.

The Lakers didn't have anything to trade that would be remotely entertaining for the Spurs. A 3rd year wasn't the hangup, trade pieces were. The Lakers DID NOT have sufficient cap space to pursue him without a trade.


According to the report, James personally met with star guard DeMar DeRozan twice to discuss their fit.

James had also been working out with Russell Westbrook in Los Angeles in the offseason, and the two discussed their fit on the court, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.


And there it goes. This meddling asshole put himself in this bed. There is no backstabbing going on.

[Johnny32]

lol this embarrassingly delusional tard clearly has no clue what duh bulls sent to sas in the derozan s&t deal. he also clearly has no clue the leverage a player has when they're a free agent and can walk for nothing. deroz made it clear to chris haynes his first choice was lal. then he made it clear that didn't work because of "business"...then haynes made it clear "business" was lal being cheap and not wanting a third year.

you can continue your legm fairytale without me. you people are delusional and pathetic.

The Bulls traded a first and two seconds for DeMar, something LA doesn't even have available to trade. What are you talking about?

oh one last thing. notice how the tard crew completely ignored this quote from two more sources because it destroys their legm narrative and confirms what haynes reported. lol so embarrassing. so pathetic. so embarrassing and pathetic.

a protected 1st lol you window licking tard. kuzma had more value at the time. pop reportedly loves him. you're completely clueless and absolutely dumb as ****. a team does a s&t to get something for a free agent leaving instead of nothing. they had no choice in the matter of what team he goes to.

Kuzma has more value than a 1st round pick yet the Bran fam took every opportunity they could to trash him last season, call him overpaid and then LA gives him up to match salaries for Westbrook? If Kuzma has that type of value along with Harrell and KCP, then make it make sense how those 3 got traded for Westbrook unless there was a puppet master pulling strings in the background.

No backstabbing.

[Johnny32]

hurrr, duh cavs traded lebron to mia because picks was the best offer they could get, durrr

this is essentially how stupid your argument is. acting like they had any say in the matter. derozan gets more money and they get something/anything in return.

congrats...you're so embarrassingly oblivious you've made my ignore list!

If the teams have no say, why didn't the Bulls stop at one second round pick, or two second round picks. Why did they top it off with a 1st round pick? Why give up all of that when there was no need to? Spurs were handcuffed, right?
