@ImTheCanMan @OtisKirk23 @Fullcourtpass @sam_amick @TheNBABase He did not predict that lol He said the Lakers were only focused on Kyrie which checks out cause Pelinka loves to chase names

LeBron James is reportedly NOT expected to return to the Lakers, per @sam_amick
The Cavaliers and Warriors are seen as his top landing spots
(h/t @TheNBABase)

@APH00PS @OtisKirk23 @Fullcourtpass @sam_amick @TheNBABase He also predicted Kyrie would be a Laker in 2023

@OtisKirk23 @Fullcourtpass @sam_amick @TheNBABase Amick is one of the most reputable reporters in the league what are you waffling about

@APH00PS @damarian_smith @TheDunkCentral @allthesmokeprod @NBA__Courtside So you’re picking Harden over SGA to build a team?
English
@damarian_smith @TheDunkCentral @allthesmokeprod @NBA__Courtside Best teammate on that team was a 36 year old CP3 lol SGA got 2 all-star teammates, 3 DPOY candidates, and the deepest bench in the league.
English
Former Rocket Vernon Maxwell says he would take SGA over prime James Harden.
“James, you know I love you and your mom and sh*t. I’m sorry, but I’m going to go with SGA.”

@LAdesignGuy I love the hate for those that never played…. Get a life

No. Kobe was a creation of self-promotion, performative antics and being on one of the NBA darling franchises. Yes he was a great player, but overrated because of these factors. Top Ten all-time generously.

A’ja Wilson says Kobe Bryant is the GOAT of basketball 🐍🐐 “You're talking about someone that is the goat of basketball... Kobe Bryant said I had a nice fadeaway jumper. That moment was huge.” (Via @marieclaire)

@Eric83238667 @LAClippersFilm Kobe was also like 100 times more of an asshole than MJ. That's how bad he was. Phil Jackson wrote a book about how uncoachable he was 🤣
English
One day people will realize that you don't have to be an asshole and an egotistical prude to lead a basketball team.
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Jeremy Lin says he and Kobe went months without talking after confronting him about his leadership style: “He’s not used to people challenging him… I’m not disrespecting Kobe because he’s 1000x the player I am… He could have handled it differently, you’re not perfect.” (via @DH12abovetherim)

@Mo3Muse @FNazis85244 @Zyrvuu @MixReels123 @JoshEberley I think it’s close. You can make the argument for both. Bron/Pierce faced each other in the playoffs 5 times too. You can argue LeBron’s biggest game of his career was against Pierce in 2012 Game 6 ECF
English
@ImTheCanMan @FNazis85244 @Zyrvuu @MixReels123 @JoshEberley its still steph off longevity 5 series played against one another 4 of which in the finals and classic games 10 years apart in 2014 and 2024
English
Even as senior citizens, Steph and LeBron will play beautiful basketball together. But as a LeBron fan, I can’t imagine a less desirable final chapter for his story lol.
Fullcourtpass@Fullcourtpass
Steph Curry and Draymond Green will begin “heavily recruiting” LeBron James to the Warriors once free agency begins, per @LakersDailyCom (lakersdaily.com/sources-steph-…)

@SwipaCam Blaming the coach when your star player is a liability on defense lol
English
Lakers going full white would be interesting. 😂
But IHart is my top free agent if he’s available.
D.O.C@DOC323123
Hartenstein not gonna be on the Thunder unless he really loves it there and takes a huge paycut. Only question is if They trade him or let him walk but either way very realistic option for the Lakers

Luka Dončić spoke to @Sport_Klub_Slo ahead of the ASG and was asked about the comparisons between the Mavericks & Lakers franchises and he said:
"I think there is a better organization here. The Lakers are really a legendary club and the organization is also legendary.” #MFFL

@DimeDropperPod @NTasper Magic tried to sabotage Zu’s career
ZubacSZN@213Clipset
Zu opened up a lot about his Lakers tenure (translated from Croatian so not 100% accurate): -Worked out a couple times with Kareem. Kareem wanted a full time position with the Lakers to work with him (and other bigs) but management never agreed. -Magic told Zu he’d be disappointed in him if he wasn’t summer league MVP on a team with Ingram/Lonzo/Kuzma/Hart -Magic said they’d decline his third year option after promising his agent they’d pick it up. Agent was mad and let Lakers know. They later told Zu they’re picking it up in the middle of the night after he had a good game for Croatia -in 2017 Zu spent the entire offseason working on his game in LA and not playing for Croatia, before training camp even started Magic told him he didn’t improve and again won’t play. They signed a washed Bogut instead. -Lakers wanted Michael Beasley backup 5 mins over Zu, they also later signed a washed Tyson Chandler to play over him. -Zu got called a day before a game vs NOP and told he’d be a starter against AD after JaVale got pneumonia. It was Zu’s first real nba game in 2 years. Magic said he wanted 15/10/3 from him. Zu had 17/11/3. -all the Lakers young guys thought they’d be traded for AD mid season
English
@NTasper Ofc I would but that’s not treating AD well after what he did. Spite the lakers? Magic is the biggest lakers ambassador there is. Muscala was for spacing purposes. Bad trade ofc. Jeanie shouldn’t be hated either. Jerry should never be disrespected
English
Clipper fans carried tonight like Hakeem carried the rockets in 94.
Without us, that shit would’ve been the most embarrassing event ever. Get your story right. We have the most loyal fans in the NBA. Don’t ever come at the fans like that
TASPER ⚡️@NTasper
@DimeDropperPod Clippers fans can’t pony up a few dollars to attend an all star game being hosted in their home arena but let’s blame NBA lol Admit you have shit fans still and it was too soon to host. It’s not a big deal. Wanna see the prices when is was in LA at Staples????
English
@notoriouswmc @Anthonysmdoyle Anthony is the same guy that says CP3 peaked higher than Kobe lol
English
@Anthonysmdoyle This isnt a little wild to you considering what Isiah accomplished in the league? Not to mention the repeated CP3 choke jobs? (And no all of those were not just injuries)
English
For me, Chris Paul is clearly the 3rd best PG of All-Time and it's pretty much inarguable - the two guys I have ahead of him(Magic and Steph) are clearly ahead of him, and no one else is close to him.
English
So the rumors that Cuban sold cuz he was cash poor at the time probably real
Marc Stein@TheSteinLine
BREAKING: An unidentified Dallas investor group is interested in partnering with Mark Cuban to buy the Mavericks back from Patrick Dumont, @TheSteinLine has learned. A source close to Dumont told me “the family remains excited about the future of the franchise and the Cooper Flagg era.”
English
@itsbelal_a @xVerlix_ @Rome_Beast players like Gabe & Lonzo are negative assets. you had to attach picks to get rid of them even if they're expiring
English
English
English
@itsbelal_a @Rome_Beast Because why else would the other team make the trade if there’s no incentive?
English
@PlayoffLucro @haley77hoops Yeah because Kyrie tearing his ACL was planned lol
English
@haley77hoops The implication is league said Mavs would get the number 1 pick that’s what they mean
English
Bro he got traded on the 2nd yall been so dumb all day
Arash Markazi@ArashMarkazi
Happy Lakers Trade Anniversary! Feb. 1, 2008: Lakers trade Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol & 2 1st rd. picks to Memphis for Pau Gasol. Feb. 1, 2025: Lakers trade Anthony Davis, Max Christie & a 1st rd. pick to Dallas for Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber & Markieff Morris.
