    I think Bron and Klutch overplayed their hand and this is just damage control. They are used to getting their way and the lack of moves at the trade deadline pissed them off.

    Emotions flying high for sure.
    For me, it's about loyalty and integrity. It def feels like pissing on the jersey when he's putting out signals like that. Historically, that's been his pattern when he doesn't like what's around him.

    Do I think he's washed? No. He's 29.1 ppg and ripping it up when he wants to. He could do a little more in defense, but washed isn't the word.

    I just don't like the antics he's bringing. It feels self-centered and Lakers are a franchise with or without him. IMO, don't care how good you are, why wouldn't you WANT to set the franchise up for a better future if you valued the Lakers name as much as you say you do. Saving the franchise from a championship drought is not saving the franchise when you rip it's future up.

    But, all in all, you're right. Lots of emotions, let's just see where it goes. Thx for the reminder

    I also think they completely overestimated their value to the Lakers at this point in LeBron’s career. It’s no secret that for 90% of every game, LeGM only has enough juice to play one side of the floor.

    You can see the age so clearly in some games and this was definitely one of them.
    I hated and hate the Westbrook trade but it's pretty clear that even Lebron knows he's just going to have games like Portland and this one as much as game like Utah/Cavs so it would be nice if another star could just take over at times.

    Where are the legs? He had plenty of time off and they weren't there. It was most evident with his 3 ball being short. Game high 6 TOs didn't help either.

    Bull bleep. Liar. Absolutely was taking shots at the FO through the AS break for not wanting to give up future picks he cares nothing about to bail him out of his lousy GMing.

    Carefully listen...Lebron isn't beloved here as he's an outsider like Wilt, we can move on from him.

    Forget WHO said it, how about what the guy said in the video?



    Anyways, Lebron's defense was partly to blame for last night's loss too. He's coming from 5 days off so I don't understand this effort.

    Those kinds of “defensive” plays happened way too much this game and his hand motions towards his teammates are lame. Stop blaming other players.

    Lebron has played the same type of defense all year. His extremely high bball IQ allows him to execute the complex “SE-PK” defensive scheme. For those not in the know, that stands for, “Save energy & pass Kareem”.

    I think this is the most likely outcome regarding Bronny and Bron

    I would think this is unethical at best and maybe illegal. As an agent your job is to get your clients the best deal available throughout the league. This would include dealing with ALL the teams in the NBA. If I’m a Klutch client, I don’t care what Bron wants, you are my agent and you represent me. If Klutch refuses to deal with certain teams, that could affect their other clients pocketbook and that BS.

    I hope the LeBron era in Lakerland ends next season. I’m done with the drama and lies. He can go somewhere else to play with his son. His days of winning Chips are over, unless he tags along on the cheap with a contender.
    He’s not the first free agent for hire to help us win a Chip and he won’t be the last.
