Why have LeWarRoom stans been lying about DeRozan free agency all season?

[beasted]

A consistent and false set of lies regarding last summer's free agency has constantly been perpetuated that needs to stop. It's embarrassing, really.

Here is the lie:

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

Here is the truth:

Sign-and-trade contracts must be for at least three seasons (not including any option year) and no longer than four seasons.

Can anyone explain?
1. How could the Lakers avoid offering a 3rd year if it's mandated?
2. What would be the motivation to maintain this lie for so long?

“James and Davis encouraged the Lakers’ front office to go all-in for Westbrook rather than proceed with GM Rob Pelinka’s plans to trade for Sacramento’s Buddy Hield,” Marc Stein explained.

Westbrook: averaged triple-double in a season.
Derozan: never averaged triple-double in a season.

It was an easy choice for LeWarRoom

Laker fans don't seem to understand the resentment the Spurs front office has for the Lakers over the Gasol deal years back.

The Spurs will not engage in a trade with L.A. that improves them in any way while Pop or RC are around. Period.

It was never up to the Lakers or Lebron.
