Getting paid 50 plus million. Helping him draft his son. What is Lakers supposed to do more? No one is bigger than the team.

Steven A, cut the BS…nothing to do with narratives. They hate LeBron because he fucked the team up. He had the organization trade good players and coaches. Bad decisions all the way around.

Every team does so much for Bron just to get spat in the face when he fails, he’s the leader of the team who never takes the blame

Perk, you have to realize that no one signs with the Lakers. They are always left with scraps during free agency after players sign elsewhere. A lot of these top tier players don’t want to play in LeBron’s shadow. It happened every year since he’s been a Laker, with the exception of his friend AD. Plus how can you sign any good talent when two guys are making 50M each.

LeBron has been with the Lakers for 7+ seasons, and the majority of those years (5 out of 7) involved either missing the playoffs or needing the play-in route rather than comfortably qualifying.

Why don’t we make up a bunch of nonsense about the teams that are still playing ??
