    That's too bad, @Weezy is one of the most insightful basketball minds I've had the pleasure of discussing the Lakers with!

    Social media is a cesspool.

    A place like this is where it's at.

    I’ll admit I found out about this place from Reddit and I’ve been lurking here for about a week now reading comments and the history of the AEG connection. Loved hearing the behind the scenes tidbits about the last few months. Sorry for any crazy Redditors that may bombard here. Not all are bad but that subreddit can be pretty toxic at times. Anyways, keep up the good work y’all and let’s keep hoping for kawhi! And thanks Mr. Rambis for your time/efforts/insights!

    We do have some very knowledgable members here.. & usually pretty civil dialogue. It's what has kept me active for so long even though I'm not much of a poster. We did lose a few important Members due to the long suffering & the polarizing LeBron James. Hopefully they'll return.

    Great to have you! Reddit is awesome for updates. Not so awesome for conversation. I think that's what sets this site apart.

    I dont get the LBJ being polarizing . Narrative..
    It's like when people left after shaq...
    I am a LAKERS fan.. born bred and after I'm dead..

    Kobe could have left.. lbj could leave. Kawhi could not sign. I still rep the purple and gold..
    I get the whole I like a certain player narrative.. but I always like the name on the front first.
    So whether they like it or not. If you're not going to be a fan of my team cause of a certain player leaves or comes.. then by all means. See ya.

    LAKERS will always be my team!

    Lakers Dodgers Kings USC Rams!
    LA always has my heart

    @Mr. Rambis - any insight on what roles AD + Lebron have had compared to Magic? In terms of the differences in the two conversations with Kawhi.

    I always rooted for teams instead of players.

    The only exception I can think of was Shaq. I watched as many Orlando games as I could when he played there.

    There was one dude that had a website www.ihatelebron.com lol

    But he took it down so other Laker fans wouldn't find out about all of the douchey things Lebron does and says and affect their ability to root for their favorite team.

    That guy is kind of a cult hero tbh.

    Nobody needs the negative vibes. Took one for the team.

    I remember that guy. Cult Hero and Cult Leader aren't interchangeable. They mean different things. You confused the two.

    So weird. Even if you don’t believe he actually has the access he appears to have his stories are still entertaining and give good perspective. He’s never really promised anything as far as I’ve seen.

    @Chopoffoureggrolls LeBron's main point was talking about how he was comfortable taking a backseat to Kawhi so that he could focus on winning and extending his career. I believe there's a more detailed post about this I made earlier.

    :Joshharthearthands: It’s cool though, I don’t need anything from Wiz, not only did he take over and put the final nail in CL’s coffin in the end, but he was still given a chance to post here despite everything and yet he was banned in no time because he’ll never change.

    That’s sad honestly, I never go to Lakers reddit and I’ll never need to, but I’m glad Wiz has found a home.

    Just want to say I came here from Reddit, find you completely credible and knowledgeable, and I’ll be fascinated when the LeBron joins LeBron Jr talk begins if, and when, Kawhi signs with the Lakers.

    Hopefully this worked - I recorded a 20 second clip from Mason and Ireland where they mention Mr. Rambis/Lakersball



    EDIT: this should work https://instaud.io/3TEN
