Normally I don't care about basketball yet I find it funny LeBron sets the new record by 2 points then takes the rest of the night off

And LeBron the GM strikes again looks like he's not so great at getting the right talent to win chips at least he did the Lakers a solid and got Lonzo shipped off to NO while daddy was still talking crazy about how his kids would wreck the league

It feels a title run is in the works in the desert.  According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Suns are nearing a blockbuster trade to acquire Nets star power forward Kevin Durant.

This trade had nothing to do with LeBron. If he got what he wanted, they would've traded for Kyrie after all his moaning and groaning about it. The Lakers front office told him no. Last year, they made him stick with Russ after he pushed that ridiculous trade.

I am OVERJOYED tonight knowing Westbrook is gone. Hands down the worst trade I have ever seen in my lifetime as a Lakers fan. Good riddance!

Brooklyn owner stepped in saying no way was Kyrie getting what he wanted out of the trade and second the owner wasn't helping the Lakers in any way so Kyrie to Dallas

The NBA deadline really has been bat shit insane

If you follow the Lakers, you'll see where the front office didn't want Kyrie after his antisemitism went on full display last year. They let LeBron break up a championship team for Russ, and have been slowly fixing things.

I am happy they got rid of Russ and Bev; two cancers off the team and they managed to win both trades pretty well by bringing in younger players and improving. This season is lost, but at least next year looks promising so far. Happy to get D'Angelo back, always had a soft spot for him.
