@LakerCj It does not mean trading Reaves. Reaves cannot be traded anywhere he’s a free agent and he won’t sign and trade to Milwaukee lol. He’ll stay in LA or sign with a team with cap space. It means trading 3 frp and 2 srp

If it means trading Reaves I’ll pass.

@bill_dowhen @JLewis562 You mean the guys that went 0-9 against the Celtics? I’ll take the guys that went 2-1 (magic) and Kobe (1-1). You can’t be the greatest laker when you never beat the Celtics in the finals.

@FrankFletes @JLewis562 It seems you never saw or heard of Elgin Baylor and Jerry West.

Magic Johnson is better than your father. Be humble!!!

@Clipperstan @JLewis562 Game 2: dribbled out the clock in regulation instead of attempting a shot, allowing Bos to tie the game and win in overtime.Game 4: committed a critical turnover late in the game and subsequently missed two free throws in overtime. Game 7: 2 TO in last 2 min lost.

@FrankFletes @JLewis562 He made a mistake, so you blame the Finals lost on him? Let's see. Game 2, he was one assist away from a triple double, 10-14 from the field, 7-7 FT line, 10 rebounds 9 assists and a steal, and it was his fault. That is an amazing game. If not for him, the game wouldn't be close

@Clipperstan @JLewis562 They called him tragic magic all offseason even he said it was 100% his fault they lost that finals.

@Clipperstan @JLewis562 82 and 85 forgot about 83 sixers

@Clipperstan @JLewis562 It was a 7 game series he dribbled the clock out in game 2 to lose the game and had 2 turnovers in game 7 to lose the game. Lakers won title in 83 and 85. They were better than the Celtics in 84 magic cost them the series. He lost them 2 games in a 7 game series

@Oceanbreeze473 Well it took Pearl Harbor to get us into the war. I hope I’m wrong but I think Iran will attack Europe or European assets at some point and France will be forced. But Trump doesn’t need Europe it was a test to see who’s a real ally. Now Trump knows he can defund UN and NATO.

I bet the French were glad the US didn’t say that in 1941. 

@Clipperstan @JLewis562 Both LeBron and Magic had their struggles, the Dallas series for LeBron the “tragic magic” finals against the Celtics when he dribbled the clock out and didn’t get off a shot in the finals and lost to Celtics. Let’s not idealize guys let’s keep it real. Both great players

@FrankFletes @JLewis562 Magic was by far a better player and leader than LeBron. Give me Magic any time if I was starting a team from scratch.

@willierbrown @JLewis562 I grew up in LA I watched both of them play live. Magic was not in as good a shape he had the vision and the passing but very limited as a scorer and a much worse defender than LeBron. LeBron better scorer better athlete better rebounder better on ball defender just better

@FrankFletes @JLewis562 you are joking.. Magic is light years better than Lebron

@hoopstonite @_JasonLT Lakers are way better than the Knicks and at this point of the season have also cleared nuggets and t wolves. Any assertion to the contrary is not based on objective analysis but instead on prior years projections not what we’ve seen this season

Here are @_JasonLT’s updated contender rankings… what stands out?

@bonesy Let me make it easier.. only trip to average 78 ppg. Or 18 ppg more than Powell Herro and Bam… there. Pretty much a 2 standard deviations better than the Heat trio

Norman Powell averaging 22 ppg Tyler Herro averaging 21 ppg Bam Adebayo averaging 20 ppg

@OnClose @EricLDaugh It’s going to be very close.

@EricLDaugh Not sure that 29% of Republicans are gonna win him the midterms

🚨 BREAKING: In a STUNNING moment, CNN was just forced to report that Donald Trump has 100% MAGA APPROVAL 100%. WOW 🔥 The kicker? The share of voters who call themselves "MAGA" is the *SAME* as when he won in 2024! "You don't have to be a GENIUS to know you can't go higher than 100%!" "Some Republicans disapprove...but they are NOT members of the MAGA movement." Q: But are people leaving MAGA? CNN: "In November 2024, 28% were MAGA. It's basically the SAME, 30%!" "The MAGA base is NOT SHRINKING — it's the SAME SIZE! If anything, it's slightly larger!" "That 100% that Trump has among MAGA GOP, is NOT an artifact of MAGA shrinking. It's just how strong Trump's grip is on the MAGA base!"

@joshrogin Trump does not need Europe. He’s asking to see who is a real ally and who is a fair weather friend. Now he knows, so it will be a lot easier for him to defund NATO and defund the UN. He won’t pull the US out due to treaty commitments but he will not commit any resources to it

“I don’t think the European countries are going to come and bail out of this mess. You have to think about the context here. Trump just spent a year hurting their economies on purpose, threatening to attack NATO, threatening to pull out of NATO. And then the Trump administration started this war without even bothering to consult them, didn’t take their interests into account until he needed them. And their populations are at historic levels of anti-Americanism because of how we’ve treated them over the last year.” “And they are democracies, so I don’t think their leaders are going to be able to overcome that. And why would they? It’s much easier, and you’ll see a bunch of countries doing this, to negotiate with the Iranians. The Iranians are setting up a system whereby they let the ships pass that they want to let pass. Just in the last 24 hours, they let several ships pass for countries that they’re not at war with. So if you were any country in the world, depending on this Strait, it’s much easier to make a deal with the Iranians than to send your ships down the Strait, to make them sitting ducks for Iranian drones and missiles, which seems crazy reckless.”

@mdradvies So that works both ways right? So if Russia takes Ukraine and marches into Poland, Lithuania, Latvia Europe is going to be cool right? No need to ask the US to defend right?

Cool. Then stop fucking calling us for help you dumb shit.

@SwipaCam @AKISNBA Was he bad on that last shot? Anyone? Anyone?

@AKISNBA His defense was garbage and he was hikackikg the offense with bad shots for a quarter and a half. Yes he was bad.

Luka Dončić had a triple-double and hit the game-winner… and people are saying he played terrible because of his field goal percentage. We’ve lost the plot.

@SwipaCam @MelitaSon_ One team is 18-7 in the clutch the other is 17-18, lakers clearly better. Late game execution means a lot more than anything you show me the first 36 min of the game. Nuggets are a bad clutch team and that will bite them in the playoffs

@MelitaSon_ Yes because Murray had five points and missed all of his shots to a degree he never has

I usually don’t like seein my Denver brudda get packed up because I think ppl just like trolling him lol But boy when it come to the LAKERS?? I legit love it because he hate them so much mostly all his intelligence go out the window and he have some of his worst takes and angles

@SwipaCam @MelitaSon_ Was he bad on the last play to win the game?

@MelitaSon_ Luka was bad, was shot chucking, played bad defense and was hijackikg the offense. All of it’s true and the only reason Twitter boys disagree is because lakers fans are bots.

@LakeShowYo It’s basically game 1 of the playoff series. Lakers win they go up 3 games on them because it will be 2 game lead in loss column with the tiebreaker. Denver wins they tie it and win the tiebreaker. Could not be more at stake. You’re at home if you are legit you protect home court

Tonight we find out if Lakers are legit contenders

@LakeShowYo I’m ok with 3-2 as long as 2 of those wins are nuggets and rockets

Lakers next 5 games: vs Nuggets (41-26) @ Rockets (40-25) @ Rockets (40-25) @ Heat (38-29) @ Magic (37-28) How many they winning? 👀
