Guys, during the AD/Lebron/Klutch situation the Lakers haven’t been treated fairly. ESPN wants us to know that Magic and the Lakers were disrespected by us, and that we didn’t act in the Lakers best interest. Poor guys. Those big markets have it so rough some times with the league and agents trying to do them in.

I hope that they can get through these difficult times.

Can we please finally have a pitty party for the Lakers?

02-11-2019, 12:00 PMPelicanidaeThe Lebron factor has really been minimised when people talk about how much success this Laker's team has had this year compared to last year.Quote:

Would anyone take a trade for Larry Nance Jr, Cedi Osman, and Ante Zizic for AD? No? But they won so many games! Ignore the fact that Lebron carried them, and whenever he sat they were abysmal. Ignore that. -

You could tell the dude was losing because he resorted to the whole "they care more about the Saints".
As if that has any bearing on whether it was the right decision or not. -
02-11-2019, 12:24 PMUNO GraciasI had never heard of that Laker fan before watching that video, but he got completely eviscerated. That guy kept harping in “those are 4 former first round picks, and two extra picks”, yeah “ Anthony Bennett, Nik Stauskas, Alex Len, and Ben McLemore we’re first round picks too, what’s your point?”Quote:

Broussard was on fire in that clip.
On AD to LA for the storyline: ''That's not the Pelicans responsibility!''
On getting offered all of the young Lakers: ''Oh yeah, you can have 6 of the 35 win Lakers! Oh no, the 6-12 Lakers, without Lebron.''
''If New York or Boston doesn't better it, then FINE, but I can get that Lakers offer or something close later.''
Beautiful. -

Take legal action against NBA! Stein exposed NBA corruption
If Anthony Davis wants to exercise his right to request a trade, his team should be able to exercise the right to not play him until the trade is made

02-11-2019, 01:48 PMPelicanidaeI mean, if by 'exposed' you mean, 'said the same thing pretty much all the Pels writers, and 90% of this board, have already said' then yeah, I guess he did expose them.Quote:

NBA spokesman Mike Bass tells ESPN: “The league office is looking into whether any contact took place between Ben Simmons and the Los Angeles Lakers that violated NBA rules.”

LA Lakers official poverty franchise, incompetent management, Magic's gonna get them moved to Seattle, etc etc etc -
02-11-2019, 03:46 PMkinglio21093I don't know how this schmuck Jason McIntyre can be considered a legitimate analyst. My god, first that tweet about sending the Pels to Seattle, and now saying that on national TV? What a loser. Greg Jennings is right, the dude thinks too much like a fan. You realize you're losing an argument, then you take shots at the organization and fanbase? Kick rocks dork. You don't deserve a job.Quote:

LeBron And Lakers Hoping Horrible Series Of Failed Betrayals Brings Them Closer As Team
LOS ANGELES—Responding to a tumultuous trade deadline that saw most of the roster floated for potential deals, LeBron James and his Lakers teammates confirmed Monday that they were hoping this horrible series of failed betrayals would bring them closer as a team. “I’m really trying to stay positive, and I think the fact that I openly tried and failed to push multiple players off this team for Anthony Davis will only make us stronger,” said the four-time NBA MVP, who claimed Lonzo Ball’s father trashing him on national television has only made James respect him more as a teammate. “Sometimes, you just need a cascading series of backstabbing lies, public humiliation, and transparent attempts to replace each other before you realize how great the players around you truly are. I’m sure these young guys feel the same way, and finding out that we don’t want to play with each other at all will take this team to the next level.” At press time, James insisted that the Lakers falling further out of the Western Conference playoff picture would only give them more time to bond this offseason.

I love how the Laker fan in that Chris Broussard clip says “nobody thinks that the Celtics are going to trade Jayson Tatum to the Pels.” He is the only guy that thinks that way. Everyone and there mother is expecting the Celtics trade to be centered around tatum.

While Buss has been an ardent backer of Walton, she has also empowered Johnson, who has been less resolute in his support. His efforts have all worked against his coach rather than with him. After delivering James in July, Johnson ignored the pleas of the coaching staff that he retain Brook Lopez and Julius Randle. Instead, he signed controversial and limited journeymen JaVale McGee, Michael Beasley and Lance Stephenson.

Seattle Lakers. Has a nice ring to it. I still wish we would pass Those clowns up in the final standings. Then trade AD to Cleveland for a 2nd round pick and cash.

03-11-2019, 07:18 PMPelicanidaeWould he have won a title if Miami was in the West? Yes. If he had been on a team with Bosh and Wade and them guys, and it was in the West, he would have still won chips, I think.Quote:

Do they win their first if Kyrie and Love are both healthy and playing? Do they get to the finals last year if CP3 is healthy?
Maybe, but the point is that I don't really see the value in these ''ah, but what if X only happened because of Y?'' comparisons, like what if Lebron only won rings because he was in the East. Maybe that's the case, but history doesn't allow us to run experiments, so we can't know for sure. -

I still don't like Broussard, but compared to whoever that other guy was, he's Joel Meyers.

03-15-2019, 11:47 AMSmontySwilliamsI think it's funny they mention Boston. Really? Ainge has the choice between aged ultra ego media circus Lebron or ho-hum all-star AD in his prime? You think the LAKERS are going to willingly trade ANYONE to the Celtics and vice versa? Magic trading Lebron to the Celtics? Really?Quote:
