I get why bro ain’t get renewed but I feel like this type of stuff has long term effects on talent


I remember when the lakers extended Kobe post-Achilles tear and as a fan I was pissed at the time because I knew it meant the lakers weren’t going to even have a chance at being competitive for at least the duration of his contract

And we weren’t. We sucked. Fast forward, LeBron James ends up coming to LA years later and what major reason does he cite as one of the reasons he picked the lakers? The way they treated and honored Kobe on his way out..


Now I’m not saying truth is Kobe, but what I am saying is the way long tenured talent is handled matters to other talent. This will have ramifications even if they aren’t visible right away

Also because it's the Los Angeles fukking Lakers. Stop it. :mjlol:

You think LeBron would give a damn about the loyalty a franchise like the Pelicans or Bucks were to show a player? :russ:

This is coming from Bron himself

:yeshrug:


You might not think it means much but the optics matter. You think people dying to go to Dallas after seeing how they did Luka?


We’ll see what happens when cats like Sami and KO’s contracts are up again and they skate because they don’t trust TKO to not treat them like spokes on a wheel

Obviously. I don’t think you’re seeing the bigger picture.

People with real value aren’t putting their career in that managements hands. I highly highly doubt a guy like Joker or Giannis willingly sign over to Nico with 100% trust after seeing how they trashed their franchise player on the way out while calling him fat.


Of course they’ll still acquire players, they’re an nba franchise with salary to spend.
