    Remember when LeBron James wanted to save Chris Paul instead of Rajon Rondo in the fight. Rajon Rondo must be really angry at LeBron that his first instinct is to save his Best Friend instead of him. This says a lot in this picture.
    Rajon Rondo has a lot of hatred at Chris Paul. Rajon started that fight with him spitting at Chris and started punching.
    Other Lakers have lost respect for him after that, and wanting them all traded with the Anthony Davis trade.

    Alright... I have to ask... what package would you pick?
    A. Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb, two 1st-round picks and a 2nd-round pick or
    B. Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Rajon Rondo, Michael Beasley, Lance Stephenson and two 1st-round picks​

    Rajon Rondo, Michael Beasley is in the deal, uh oh LeBron you might get your behind beat up in the locker room.
    You don't mess with crazy people, that is common sense in which LeBron James was never taught.

    I would almost rather witness the continual downfall of the Lakers and Lebron this year over the Rockets winning a championship

    I could honestly watch espn, fans, and social media turn on lebron all day long. When those pacer fans started chanting "lebron gonna trade you" and him sitting like a b**** on the bench.... literally tickles my balls

    Almost makes me think bad about my life with how much joy it brings me

    Now we just need this to happen:

    - Davis in Boston
    - Durant in NY
    - Kawhi in L.A (with the Clippers)
    - Butler in Houston
    - Klay in L.A (with Lakers for the max)

    ,,,and we're winning the chip next season :D

    The Twitter comments are more delusional than anything 'holic has ever typed.

    Lol all those young players dont want to hear the bullshit about to come out of his mouth

    Just like Cleveland, Lebron wants to exhaust a teams resources after years of top 3 picks to trade for all stars of his choosing, to only leave the team after a couple of years and putting them back in the lottery because he exhausted all their young talent for a 2 year window

    Do the Lakers have their pick this year? If they do they should love the tank job higher pick means greater chance NO trades them Davis instead of to the Celts

    Yeah but to be fair Cleveland was a sorry ass franchise 4 years without Lebron with nothing to show for it at least he gave them a ring. LA on the other hand had a very bright future which Lecruit looks like he is ruining lol was that a bullet dodged by Morey or what.

    To be fair, Davis is established as one of the best players in the game. Harden was a 6th man that had major potential. He could have easily turned out to be an Andrew Wiggins.

    Huh? Easily turned out to be a Wiggins? If u watched Harden play and looked at his advanced stats his final year in OKC, it was obvious he was gonna at least be very good.

    Sure, but I'm sure no one thought he'd be MVP Harden. At the time, something like a Wiggins or a Bradley Beal was probably a solid grade for him - good to very good offensive players. Probably not superstar level, but definitely all-star level.

    Wiggins ain’t even close to that tho...Wiggins can’t have been a solid grade for Harden...Wiggins is horrible and is much worse than 6MOY Harden so I don’t see how Harden could’ve ever easily been another Andrew Wiggins

    current Beal level, I’ll give u that one

    Package A. Without the benefit of hindsight.
    The two first round picks at that time were reasonably projected to be around late lottery. Then Lamb looked like he had some potential to be a good starter if nothing else.

    But the two 1st round picks the Lakers give are reasonably projected to be 25+.
    Then the more I watch Ingram the less I don't see any kind of star potential in him so I would take my chances with the Rockets 1st being top 10.

    Anyway Harden at the time traded was worlds apart in trade value than the current Davis so I would have asked for Morey for 4 firsts and pick swaps.

    How does a team fit SIX players into one roster spot? OK, two with Hill's cap relief.

    lol yes this was conveniently glossed over by the Lakers whining media squad.
    NOP would have to release 2-3 players at least and eat their salaries.
