    I think some of this is simply the coaching staff trying to motivate and empower players who are supporting them. Trying to show the rest of the guys what they want from the players. None of this means much at this point. It's all team building and psychological empowering/manipulation. Trying to get results they want.

    I would not be too concerned about any piece of news just yet! Players are probably trying to conserve energy this early in the season. Plus, the rest of camp and the preseason is meant for experimenting with different lineups and ironing these issues out. Lots to look forward to! I really feel this is the first time in many years where the Lakers have put out a very competitive team, and I can't wait to see the life rush back in Staples Center on opening night!

    I can’t wait to see life rush back to LB as well. Kudos to RonStu who has been carrying these threads through the dog days of summer, but one man can only go so long before they risk a Trump like meltdown.

    Well thanks, but I had lots of help. Lots of guys posting media as it appeared and updates all over the place. Best place to stay updated on the Internet IMHO

    Does that mean LeBron already don’t give a damn about the coach’s offense? Sounds like it.

    "He’s always said he’s a basketball player who’s going to make things happen regardless of the spot he’s in."

    Spot on the floor or in the lineup? Sounded fine and what you would want to hear .... to me.

    Fans hear what they want to hear and what fits a comfortable narrative.

    It’s like mocking Dwight’s torn butt muscle injury after being outed by a disgruntled trans. Unrelated - allegedly - but easy to view things through that lens if you wanted to.

    The type of quote you can mold into whatever you want. Just as easy (easier if u ask me) to say sounds like he's saying he'll do what ever coach asks him to do.
