Does LeBron really think throwing an IG tantrum is going to land Davis tomorrow?

So far the Pelicans have publicly said nothing and LA are losing their minds, this is awesome!
The Lakers are a clown show.
Clearly the Pelicans didn’t like the offer, why would they counter when they’re the ones with a position of strength?
The Windhorst comments make the Lakers look even worse.
The Lakers franchise is what AAU, Athletics companies, and bad NCAA basketball hath wrought.

Yeah Windhorst made it sound like it was inevitable. I'm sure his inside information was just LeBron's power bottom telling him it was "probably" going to happen.

KD acting like a total cunt over an article speculating he wants to be a knick. Must mean it's true.

It's pretty amazing how badly this is blowing up in the Lakers face. I've always hated the Lakers, I wish could be all-in laughing at them right now but stupid LeBron had to go there so now I'm laughing at them but also like, well I guess he's never winning another title again.

Fuck LeBron. I mean, I get he brought your team championships but he's basically a megalomaniac who doesn't seem to realize how stupid every move he's made since like 2010 has been. It's never his fault, he's constantly turning over his rosters. Cutting off his young Lakers teammates at the knees should be getting him a lot of heat but for some reason it's not.

Yes, that trainwreck against the Pacers should be getting a lot more attention. No one looked like they wanted to be there.

I mean I agree with everything but the first two words in the post.

I actually want Davis to go to the Lakers because Lebron, Davis and Lance Stephenson is still not even close to enough to do anything and Davis will be stuck trying to win with 38 year old LeBron while other teams constructed by people without a God complex pound their ass.

The fact that he would intentionally go to the one of the few organizations as inept as the Cavs is really mindboggling to me.

I disagree with this. He has no hope of beating this current Warriors team for as long as they stay together and stay healthy. But even with that trash Cavs team last year they win against anybody but the Warriors, an all time great collection of talent. Even with all the awful personnel decisions and lack of youth and development, etc., he's still so good that if it weren't for the superest of super teams that he'd have rings on two hands by now.
Now he's getting older so that won't remain true much longer, so I agree with you there. Yet another reason going to the Lakers was so stupid. He needed a team that was ready to compete now, not maybe in the future if all of these other guys maybe possibly choose to go to LA at some point in the maybe far off future.

It's not true now. The Lakers, with some talented young players, just got pounded by 50 on the road against a mediocre Pacers team. You really don't think Lebrons thirst for Davis means he thinks he can win with him??

The Lakers were the 4 seed on Christmas day. Without all this trade drama they could have been competitive against anybody except for the Warriors even with this horribly constructed roster that doesn't fit today's league at all. (With this trade drama this team probably goes like 10-20 the rest of the way and totally flames out unless something major changes.) You've rightfully mocked this roster for a long time so don't act like Lonzo and Ingram are any good right now.
Idk what LeBron is thinking. I think he's repeatedly made very poor decisions. But yeah he probably thinks that if he gets AD that he can win next year if KD leaves GS. He probably imagined himself as Kareem and AD as Magic and that he'd win a couple more rings. Idk.

Weren't the Grizz and Clips in the top of the conference standings for a while?
I know what LeBron is thinking. He's thinking he's God and anything he touches will turn to gold. He's wrong. It's not 2010 anymore.

Would the Lakers be the 9 seed right now if LeBron didn't miss 5 weeks?

They'd probably be around the 6-8 range.
