league fears us

same reason tampering shyt only every applies to the lakers

 

[Primetime21]

The title and the way Gilbert worded it is misleading.

Didn't watch the video but anybody that remembers that far back knows that's the real reason, not whatever shyt Jeannie was saying about it all being Demps not having approval

Yes, he needed them to agree since the league owned the Hornets but they put him in charge of finding the deal. He just so happened to accept the Lakers deal without them giving up Bynum, so they had Demps go to the table again and request Bynum so that LA couldn't force Orlando into a trade or sign Dwight with the freed up cap space after trading Bynum/Odom/Gasol

If it trade goes through and they sign Dwight, Kobe ends with more rings than MJ, CP isn't in PHX rn looking doughy still trying to get 1, LeBron's ring count is diminished and is looked at completely different, Kobe/that Laker squad probably has enough juice for some great games vs the Warriors early on. That veto changed the trajectory of NBA history

Can't believe brehs really bought Jeannie's reason, she knows better then to cross a league with a gay man running it

Bron might not have ever gotten a ring

Bron might not have ever gotten a ring

I still say he probably gets 2016 but D12 & CP3 were only in their early 30s so LA would've re-tooled and who knows what that looks like. But besides that ring over the Warriors I'm taking that Laker big 3 over Miami's.

And Kawhi would've never won in SA, if that happens Uncle Dennis doesn't have anything to get the big head over. Do they still force their way out and if not Raptors are still at 0 rings

If you really sit and think you can draw a whole family tree of lines and shyt going back to that trade lol, everything would be different

Hmmm idk about that. 2013 and 2014 Spurs were all time greatness

If Ray Allen doesn't hit that shot, Spurs would have been back to back champions

All these ifs and what if’s. Get over it. None of that shyt was guaranteed to happen if CP goes to the Lakers. Y’all always bringing up LeBron and shyt that has nothing to do with him. Laker fans so spoiled (and I fukk with some of y’all) the one time y’all don’t get what you want it’s a conspiracy.

I get to thinking kobe would be alive if it’s wasn’t for this shyt man

He bust his ass to carry them to the playoffs man. He never gets hurt in the fashion he did if shyt went down as plan man

I hate kobe related threads now. shyt makes me sad

Meh I wouldn’t assume shyt

Testament to Kobe's greatness the league had to pull some shady shyt to prevent him from loading up
