The lakers are moving on from LeBron James after this season and LeBron feels a way. LeBron camp “Luka didn’t even want to be a laker”.

as a 26 yo lebron already had 2 titles. luka has to get right and commit. just like zion, he's good enough to be better than most even at 80%. he's no where near lebron's level at the same age though. not close to kobe, shaq, magic, etc at 26.

Lebron didn't get 2 titles until he was 28 going on 29. That's around the same age Luka will be in the 26-27 and 27-28 seasons which is why they are saving cap space to get higher quality players to build around Luka. I actually think Lebron and a Luka could work but they would need a lot of athleticism, size and shooting around them and they don't have that.

LeBron was 27 when he won his first title and he had to team up with the other two best players in his conference to do it. You nikkas think you’re slick huh. It’s over

Lakers did everything for him lol, traded for AD for him, traded Russ for him, he wanted a pg so they got Dennis for him, changing his jersey number every year, drafting his son, etc. He needs to realize his age and the fact that he’s not that impactful when it comes to winning, lakers got a 26 year old superstar, no team would be catering to a 40 year old who can’t be the #1 guy on a winning team. Be grateful that the wonderful Rob Pelinka has allowed Bronny to still have a spot.

Edit: forgot to add that they fired multiple coaches for him too

They also got a ring they wouldn’t had sniffed

Lakers had an opportunity to sign AD outright in FA, LeBron was tweeting everyday asking for the trade. The entire selling point of the trade was Bron is old, you can't wait for AD. Russ was on Bron and AD 100%. This is not a fantasy world where you say no to your best players, best players get what they want in most organizations. Bron and AD recruited Russ from day 1. Rich Paul was meeting with Adam Silver behind Lakers asking to somehow fire Luke Walton, not sure how that would have worked.

Lakers catered to every thing he wanted, saying they didn't is lying to yourself. I am not mad at it, most teams cater to their stars. I am just not going to pretend it didn't happen.

They were picking and choosing when to listen to Bron and AD. Every move they made was because Pelinka thought it was a good idea.

AD was crying for another center for years and they never even bothered to get a remotely decent one. Lebron wanted Lue, Kyrie, and Caruso back and none of that was ever seriously pursued.

How we know Lebron wanted Ad traded? Did lakers cater to Lebron or did they cater to the Lakers

:comeon:You can go on his twitter where he was begging during superbowl weekend lol (highly disrespectful to his teammates at that time btw).

Lakers catering to themselves would be just outright signing AD without giving up a single asset which they could.
